By Tintin In America a real speed horse but struggling to leave anything great (till now). Brilliant time done on her ear.

Boring though, eh   Brodie !!

Of course with it racing over a mile is boring!

Just a procession most of the races over the mile!

Lets run all races in NZ for awhile over a mile if it is so popular, that will certainly kill off the enthusiasts without a doubt, Globe.

Grant Crabbe bred horse i think.

Bred by Crabbe, who also bred and raced the dam with Bruce Francis, formerly of Ashburton. 

Bruce stood Save Fuel at Ashmorven stud and raced some really nice horses in the 90's; Kajura, Savarma (won five in a row I think), Lignano among others. 

That dour trait of Save Fuel tended to run through most of his horses, who seemed to be able to run for long periods at high speed. 

Shartin's blood runs back to Kajura somewhere along the line, I think.
