Brodie Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Heaven Rocks has won his first race in the U.S. It has in the results that Heaven Rocks is from Australia! Does anyone know why this would be the case, or has the owner just stuffed up and told the U.S. harness outfit that the horse came from OZ?

I have noticed that with a few kiwis racing in the u.s, don't know if its because it did it most recent racing in Aussie or not, we will see what they put next to Lazarus.

Brodie Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Cardigan Bay I think they said was Australian as well. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Heaven Rocks is half American and half an Aussie. This would account for his unruly behaviour. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 If he was bred in Oz then if he does go great does not give any credibility at all to NZ horses,! Seems a bit unfair I would’ve thought seem he raced in NZ predominately and crap in OZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It's actually very simple — the letter after the horse name indicates where the horse was bred. HR was bred in Oz, so he's 'HR A'. As for 'fairness', there are any number of US-based horses that previously raced in Oz using the N modifier because they were bred in NZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
