Made some serious bucks when Bloss won the Hunter Cup. Pretty sure she paid around the $10 mark….

Blossom Lady one of the true great NZ Mares to go with Delightful Lady, Armalight and Adore Me. 

no Aussie Mares have gone close to their records, but 2 recently retired Emma Stewart trained millionaire Mares Ladies In Red (28 wins from 35 starts ) and Encipher ( 18 wins from 30 starts including Defeating the champ LEAP TO FAME in the Eureka Slot race 😳 , the richest race in Australia )   were very quick and Very Good. 

Here's Anthony Butt with brother Tim Butt . After yet another Hunter Cup win .🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆.

Anthony winning driving 2 for his grand-dad Derek Jones with Blossom Lady , and 5 with Tim ! amazing stuff.

A/ name any of the 5 massive Tim Butt trained AG Hunter Cup winners ?.

B/ here's one , for extra Brownie points can you pick the horse with a one eyed Blind ? ,  Ranga might be needed for his eye to detail ? (or the Galah eagle eye 🦅 😉)  TABman leading Blackie so far and Goldilocks in the points today too

I'll score an early point with possibly one of the lesser known Tim Butt winners ...Mah Sish .

Began his career with a good run of wins out of the Dean Taylor barn.

Obviously liked Australia and the longer races , winning nearly $800 k of his career earnings of $950 k in Australia.

And for a bonus point I'll nominate another little known victor who scored two wins at the recent Blenheim meeting [ on all-weather.], back in the day !

He had his first start in colours of his small breeder/trainer , before Tim Butt took him to Blenheim to win his second start ...

And a year later he won the Group 4 yr old pace @ Blenheim ...his 10th win from first 13 starts.

Overall he didn't win many more......overall 13 x wins

 

Name...... Choise Achiever  .

Yep. That's him in photo TABman.  the B/ answer .  yeah won a few down your way in the deep South at Invercargill and Winton and that and a couple of cracks at the NZ Cup . (both won by the Terror To Love including that fantastic win by the Terror when he galloped at the start and gave them 40m start and a beating ) . 

He was the 5th and final Tim Butt trained pacer to win the Hunter Cup.
