Gammalite Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 THE COSSACK is in at Ballarat shortly in the Australian Grand National Steeplechase. Are you guys getting on? His NZ form looks pretty solid . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 fricken 1/2 head after about 20 miles of jumping. Thats just mean 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Francis Kenneth Stewart Browne would of got The Cossack home first.? (although a great effort today for Nz by The Cossack connections) As a kid used to go along to Ellerslie once a year just to see Ken win yet again over the Big Fences. ASCONA probably his best one , as he owned it himself. as well as training and riding. Best horsemen on the planet are some of the kiwi trotting blokes , but seeing Ken Browne do what he did with all those jumps horses, (inc Great Northern Steeplechase 9 times !! wow !! ) I still rate him Number One best horseman I ever seen. A legend of racing. Rip Ken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cossack oh so close to victory................... I have to say while admiring Ken Browne above, I wasn't very correct just saying blokes, as certainly admire the ladies efforts as well Freda. and certainly some of the best Horse'people' I have ever seen are not blokes at all. Just posted this the other day on trots forum when discussing whip issues, to say how I admire the ladies horsepeople too. quote... "nowadays with the rules and penalties applied as they are, as you mentioned , Jamie Kah, Alana Kelly, and at the trots Nat Rass, Sarah O'reilly , Kate Gath, Sam Ottley , the 3 x McMullen sisters in Brissie and many more , the horses respond to them and they get great results..." The ladies are proving fabulous trainers and jocks and drivers throughout Nz and Aus as well. congrats Freda on being part of that fabulous club. This weekend EMMA STEWART from Victoria won her 100th Group 1 race . !! the 1st Australian harness horse trainer to achieve that milestone, in all time. an amazing achievement.

Shad Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Top effort under 70kg, looked like he may have botched a jumped just before the run home, was a little hard to tell if it was him or not,could have been the difference at the finish, good to see raise the flag, flying agent, also running well.
