Might have been some ponies in it , but the winner of the first heat wasn't a pony (yet again) have a look at the name and breeding of the horse for a clue on that. Stop making it out like its a race . Quote

Stop making it out like its a race . It was definitely a pony under the rules for these races. The same but stricter criteria than for pony showing and other equestrian events. Of course it's a race. I'm sure the ponies and riders as well as the spectators think so. You are talking a lot of nonsense. Pony • Mount can be up to 148cms or 14.2h – any full height pony requires an RAS height certificate. • All mounts are to be aged 4 years and over. • All Thoroughbred and Standardbred Pony entries must be entered with their racing name included and/or breeding if unnamed for racing – or brands provided if unknown. • Any Thoroughbred or Standardbred Pony entry must not have raced or been in race training within the past 6 months. • Any Thoroughbred Pony entry must be showing as retired on LOVERACING.NZ. • Any Standardbred Pony entry must be showing as retired on hrnz.co.nz. • Every Thoroughbred and Standardbred Pony entry must provide a current RAS height card as proof of 148cm or under.

curious Posted Monday at 09:04 PM Author Posted Monday at 09:04 PM Well if you enter a mini Cooper in a Ferrari race, more fool you. I suppose you'd also complain if you entered a 10 start maiden in a Group 1 and it got beaten? Quote

I'd call unexplained missing posts on a racing chat site more of a conspiracy, one in which you might be able to shed more authentic light on than the scurry races you like to convince yourself are full of actual ponies.

You can't seem to get through your head that the thoroughbreds and standardbreds ARE kids actual ponies, and in most cases, a lot cheaper ones for parents and kids than a top show pony, eventer, or show-jumper. 3 Quote
curious Posted yesterday at 05:19 AM Author Posted yesterday at 05:19 AM If you'd rather buy a beginner pony for your grand kids that's wasn't a racehorse, here's a nice one though past his competition prime. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/sports/equestrian/horses-ponies/ponies/listing/5338596549 1 Quote

Name the racehorse and its breeding and its height that is in the Pony Scurry as a pony? Quote
