I stand to be corrected but I am sure the oldest horse and driver to win a group 1 was Pompelliar and the late Jack Smolenski in the 2007 NZ Trotting Championship.
Pompelliar at nine years and Jack a young seventy three!!!
My filly was having her first start at Te Rapa when the meeting was abandoned due to the running rail falling over .....
Off to Awapuni yesterday for todays meeting................
I'm sure there are many others in the same boat - what a joke NZ racing has become.
Like the industry needs anything like this!! - we should be welcoming people to the sport of kings not ripping the people who pay the bills (the owners) off.
Absolutely disgusting act on all concerned.!!
I think from memory
Pompalliers's two most notable wins NZ Trotting Championship and the Dominion Handicap were with drivers other than Richard Brosnan.
