According to that page, Roger J bought the horse from Haunui consignment in 2007. He may be able to help you with details of ownership.
I will say this for NZTR, it sometimes takes a while to reply but their staff addresses are all listed: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/NZTR/About/Staff-Contacts.aspx

The one I just saw was a black and white montage of about six people and their jobs / lives with a shot of gingernuts in the middle .... that's all I can remember about it
Trackside 2 listings are lagging. Not showing up Rotorua or Riverton on mysky info - still showing up as Racing to Win and then straight into Aussie - or is it just me? I assume Riverton is on 2?
He is a quirky old guy though. If he doesn't like things, he lets the jock know. Today was a hurdle of course ... I might think about one more steeple before they make a call on retirement?
Hmmmmm. Also, they don't respond to visitor posts on their fb. I've just been informed by the admin that this is because they are "often opinion based."
Do you not value opinion from stakeholders?

"The Board aims to revitalise thoroughbred racing."
Why not start with your Facebook page, which you don't appear to have touched since 2012?
Or try to respond to visitor posts and emails.
Cheers!

I don't say it's a record -- just that it's a significant feat which merits recognition by the sport's governing body. Which currently pays a lot of money to contract out its PR. Added to which, it was the nz gallops meet of the day so the club also deserves some publicity.
The irony is that the local paper did do a write up but you're absolutely correct that no one at NZTR level which is charged w promoting the sport has shown the initiative and picked it up ..
It was ridiculous- not even a sidebar in the Dim Post today when Blenheim is in the general circ. area. Instead Splurge got a mention , when it's trained in north and raced on Saturday. No oversight of racing cover anymore :-(
