Brodie Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) I note that Alexy has its 211th start tonight in the claimer at Forbury. Currently trained by Denis O’Connell and has been with him Off and on as well as Bruce Negus! 211 is a helluva lot of starts for any horse in NZ to remain sound and still race reasonably well. If he was in Oz he probably would’ve had at least 300starts. That trotter that started with Phil Williamson and then Greg Hope and the Milina’s had heaps but not sure how many it had! Does anyone know if this would be a record no. of starts for a horse racing in NZ?? Edited July 6, 2018 by Brodie 1 Quote
Happy Sunrise Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 It would have to be a record, wouldn't it? Someone will know the answer! Milina's Moment of Truth had 200. Tattler's Jet had at least 460 in the USA. He stopped racing as a 14-year-old. The Aussies have records but can't find any for New Zealand 1 Quote
hunterthepunter Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 a trotter down south called Kelly evander had over 100 starts and never one a race Quote

Just thought back to memorable iron horses from the past 20 years, plus Idle Scott from the 80s/90s of course. I thought of at least a dozen others that turned out to be 170-190 starts. Some things stick with you, I guess... 2 Quote
