Congratulations HS... when I didn't make the short list Voltaire's Secret became my favourite name... Are you based in the North so will be able to make it to the races when he lines up.?

Actually, I'll change that to 100%... Just checked another picture of Balmerino and he has the 3 white feet as per the Trade Me pic...

99.99% sure that its Balmerino and Maurice Campbell

I'm gutted too... CAFERS CALL didn't even make the short-list either. Thought it was a good name as whenever he ran everyone on RaceCafe would recognise the name straight away and feel as if they were all part of the ownership group too. Oh well, Good Luck to all those who made the short-list..

What $$ amount did it increase from.??

Remember Greatness well... first thing to pop into my head was Earl Harrison. Looked back on the NZR website and yeah was always there or thereabouts. Wasn't scared to travel him or back him up. You would have had a few fun trips to OZ.
