harewood 477 Report post Posted March 18, 2018 I routinely check the HRNZ website for horses that have been exported from NZ just to see whats leaving the shores and what I might see pop up in Aus that would be worth keeping an eye pout for. Normally just about all are exported to Aus with the odd one to the USA. This past month I notice several to Canada, one to Tahiti (beach racing?) and 9 to CHINA. Now something must be going on over there to want that many in a month, must admit never heard of any of them but they are all registered standardbreds. Any ideas any one. And NO not for chow mein please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a doco/piece with Tom Woods commentary about 18 months ago on trackside. Not sure whars going on with Standardbreds. S Boyd will know more. harewood 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they all have a rest for half an hour and race again.Wonder how many horses they have to run a programme or did I just watch it.

I cant recall AC/DC ever having played at Addington during a meeting. Fartoomuch and harewood 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,719 Report post Posted March 21, 2018 On a serious note, what happens to these horses if they become either injured or retired. I believe they race in China in saddle paces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
