gubellini 3,996 Report post Posted September 17, 2021 Cubes Phil Bayly raced Blue Denim. His son Andrew is the MP for Port Waikato. A very effective local MP with an impressive CV and financially savvy. He has a thorough knowledge of the rural sector and racing industry.

meomy 971 Report post Posted September 17, 2021 Fabulous horse and story of those involved in Horse Racing at the coalface with Blue Denim. We need the good old days of grass roots racing back in all our New Zealand rural communities where horses roam. Gosh @TurnipOrange, you must be pushing on 60 years young as that race was 40 years ago! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
