Graeme Robertson at left (cap and shades) bred and raced the 1995 filly of year and NZ Oaks winner Tartan Tights.

Won a bit of money off Tartan Tights when she flew home under a Chris Johnson well timed(?) ride to win the 1994 1000 Guineas.  In those days horses didn't mind travelling all over the country...well their trainers and owners didn't mind!

Most owners in those days were mostly in the game for the sport. Waikato wallet disciples changed all that.

I think you miss my point.  Tartan Tights was trained in Southland.  Raced and won between Gore and Auckland in an era where it was a damn sight harder to get around.  EA Winsloe.

Nothing to do with money but a willingness to travel with a decent horse.
