Now we're talking great animals lol.... Here's one for you , speaking of Bounding Away being Australian Horse of the Year . Question 1 ) Who is this one in photo (Aus horse of the year) wonder if he got a NZ horse of the year too ? I really think Joe will know who won this race too BTW , lol.. Question 2 ) the jockey in contention ? and why the BIG controversy ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bloggs Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If my old roommate JWW had of ridden Van, he would have won by panels, Shane will go to his grave swearing he did the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy was a wonderful race horse and i think one of NZ's most underrated greats . Bought for peanuts , had a wonderful record . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought for peanuts , had a wonderful record . All I can really remember was the 3 seconds for Vandy .... , to Naturalism in the AJC Derby, the photo above in the Caulfield Cup when he went via the car-park home turn and Mannerism beat him 1/2 head , and the amazing small popular $17 trifecta when Subby beat Vandy decisively in the wet 1992 Melbourne Cup with the Nzer Castletown 3rd well clear of the rest. Veandercross must of had some big wins as well though ? , but more famous for the 2nds it seems ... good old Shane !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
