Black Kirrama 1,513 Report post Posted August 12, 2020 https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12337445 One Prize One Goal won Race 2 today at Taupo. Lee Somervell and Trudy Thornton combined for their 17th win together as Trainer /Jockey in NZ. This beautiful horse , stable name FREDDY ( who the Trainer labelled as a Group winner to his brother ) developed breathing issues and even ran off at Ellerslie one day at Ellerslie going Right handed. With Dame Trudy Thornton on board. He has never raced Right Handed again. To his great credit his Trainer opted for a parallel career for Freddy. He has become a rest home regular in Napier and Hastings.He walks inside buildings and hospitals. He visits cancer and dementia stricken elderly patients. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/?c_id=1&objectid=12337445 Nuzzling up close in their final moments. Wheel Chairs,chemical smells, old age smells and sliding doors don't faze Freddy Lee and Shirin's and Trudys win today was another career highlight with their ,race horse Freddy Baz (NZ), shaneMcAlister, Gruff and 5 others 7 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
