Yes Greyhound , Ranga and yourself are all excellent with your harness horses. and identifying them. Your 6 answers spot on once again. Saw these 6 beautiful horses race many times and am very fond of all them. Thorate , Westburn Grant, Village Kid and Yankee Loch all winning Interdominons . Quite Famous 5th in a GF and also won the Addington Interdominion consolation (with his stablemate LB taking victory 👍) and ......... Popular Alm there with Vinny. perhaps the best of them , but only came up with 2 Interdominion Grand Final placings instead of the win . Vinny himself, drove in 10 Grand Finals in a row , and didn't win one !!! one of the great anomalies IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well just realised by trying to cut short have missed the 'S' for Super S horses that rate a mention. There are some real beauties . so rather than 'S for Slump' back into vaccination talk on threads will run with Pacers today and trotters tomorrow for a Super S Saturday and Sunday. can you name these greats ? Q1/ quiz horse that was a favourite of the late great Derek Jones. may have named his stables after him? Q2/ This bloke was a big race specialist bred in Tassie , as were his training driving team, but definitely repping for NZ as he thundered to a big victory or 2. (a big win in QLD ironically) Q3/ Winner of the 2022 Nz Trotting Cup (95% confident lol) Q4/ This mare Gained great benefit from an Aussie testing positive and so was promoted to immortality? Q5/ 2 Legends combined in Roy and Wolfie to rack up big wins with this bloke ? Q6/ Jack S was unlucky to take on Quinny a few times with this 'flashy' maned horse. nearly upset Young Quinn in a big one, but was mowed down late. Who is Jack? who is his flashy steed? Q7/ From the deep south this bloke had to take on the Lady at Auckland, and Lord Module 2 and did a good job of it and had his big moment taken away at the last minute by Wolfie driving Rondel. Q8/ From a great barn, this bloke went all the way to Perth and 'S' for Smacked all the great Aussies that turned up for a big NZ win. Some Aussies to taste Victory !! but mainly defeat in NZ are ..... Q9/ Trigger was another Aussie like Junior's Image to have a DQ after a big NZ win . Who is he? Q10/ Lance Justice also tried to win an Inter with another 'S' horse in NZ , winning a heat at Akld. who? Q11/ Lance's brother John Justice had a great Victorian S horse that flopped in 4 NZ runs? Q12/ Another Turnbull horse , a 'Double S' horse, had a crack also failing in NZ at an Interdom , but Won the grandFinal at his home track in NSW in another year. Good Luck !! have a crack at one , or 2 or 3 or any of those and see how you go ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Greyhound has scored in the quiz today with 1. Soangetaha, one of Derek Jones best 70 odd years ago. 2. Stanley Rio , for the Noble family winning the Interdominion GF in Brisbane in the 70's 4. Stella Frost , promoted to 1st in that famous Addington Interdominion 5. Sole Command, Wolfie already a legend then , but with Roy Purdon engaging him too, well that just says Winner winner chicken dinner !! 6. Jack Smolenski correct , but who is his 'lesser light' star S horse, of the 70's apart from Arapaho ?? 7. Sapling , a lot of 2nds, yes the trailing Wolfie on Rondel mowed him down late 1979 at Addington GF. 8. In-correct . Was thinking a more recent horse Mark conquered many with on both sides of the Tasman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Aussies. might be a bit too tricky as even though winning many Group 1's in Australia these guys didn't go that well in NZ. Q9 Trigger did, he had NZ Cup placings.
