WOODBINE 88 Report post Posted November 5, 2009 I met Ivan on several occasions in the UK. He was a master horseman and one of the very best trainers to come out of Asia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2009 Ivan also raced the Manawatu Sires Produce Winner in the 80's called TEDDY DOON By Rapier II, and trained by the "master" Graeme Rogerson Set for the race after running 3rd in teh Ellerslie Sires Produce Stakes, teddy Doon paid over $40 for the win. Watch for the powerful Graeme & Debbie Rogerson team to produce some real beauties over the summer. Their Tuhikaramea Training complex is one of the best in the World, and we will see the Rogie's as NZ's leading Thoroughbred & Trotting Trainer's. They are amazing ambassadors for NZ on the World Stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
