Greg Yes indeed - incidentally there was a Kiwi driver here a couple or so weeks ago. Has driven more winners than Herlihy & McKendry combined. Ross Wolfenden. Quote

Happy Sunrise Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Really nice and positive news piece on 7 Sharp. The presenters kept on about their equine namesakes too. Great stuff. If they had only added in DD to top it all off it would have been perfect. 1 Quote

She was a pretty decent race mare around the late sixtys and into the 70,s. I used to follow breeding with interest, and commiserate with the author on less interest shown in the distaff side of the the breeding equation .Just goes to show that good bloodlines are equally passed on from both parents. I always thought Tintin In America would leave a speed horse as he was exceptionally quick himself, and clean gaited. Also nice to see NZ,s flag being waved, and we are building a very promising breeding platform of sires , not undue to Bettors Delight being a major part of that. Quote
Happy Sunrise Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 7 Sharp and TV1 do it again with a very good harness story. Quote
