Ngatoa went on to win the Grand National Steeplechase, at Riccarton, two months later. Photo obviously taken on top of Hill at Ellerslie in 1915. That year a horse called El Gallo won the double ...Great Northern Hurdles/Steeples , then repeated in 1916 ,making it a double/double. Of course the two races not on same day back then ,but 2 days apart ! Disillusioned, Patiti and meomy 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
