Were they foreshadowing the 2020 NZ Cup. Gamms fun fact test for you 😄 Which horse was a embryo transplant? Didn't realise there was such a thing with race horses yet. Tip you can get the answer by watching replays of workout/trials Auckland this weekend 😄 Embryo Transplant ? no , don't know about that. or who it is. Fun Fact for enthusiasts from the 80's in NZ . The Albatross stallion VANCE HANOVER provided a Massive boost to the industry , with having crops of around 400 foals for a few seasons. (FOUR hundred ! wow ! what an incredible amount of foals. thanks to Artificial Insemination and a cheap $500 stud fee . Up to $2000 after first 2 crops. So they swamped the races for a few seasons ! setting all sorts of records. Had First 5 seasons in Auckland area at cheap rate. then a season or 2 Canterbury at $6000. dropped dead from all that work at 17 years old ! no wonder lol.... That is one way to get a big Boost with plenty of horses (foals on the ground to race). Maybe they should re-visit a saturation idea like that , if NZ running low now, on racing horse numbers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is given in R1 Learners heat - being Lacy Linda - Dam Linda Lovegrove. Interesting fun fact there Gamms re Vance Hanover! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
