joseph 5 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 Just wondering what the smallest horse you know about that won a race. Have a rising 3yo and only about 14.2hh. Her full brother is 16.3hh. Might be by the teaser lol on the tape, he has won a couple of races, if he was bigger he would have been a really good horse but the smallest knocks send him for a sixa!!

jess 1,244 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 - maybe she is a late developer! If not - I hope your filly is a pocket rocket and sets a new record herself! I have a weanling filly currently which is distinctly smaller than all her halves at the same age - despite being well fed/good condition etc. So I may end up in precisely yr position! Good luck to you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey_05 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 I had a 14.3hh Filly by Johar, called Zafer, Raced 10 times in NZ for 1 win, 1 second, 3 thirds and 1 5th and a few 6ths. Weighed in every start bar 3. Since sold to AUS and has had one start for another second. I think if they have a big heart they will beat any big horse. She certainly was a very tough wee girl.. Not to bad for a $1500 purchase either, as everyone else was put off by her size and probably sire.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

berty 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 Am still hoping she will grow. Is built like a brick outhouse, and got attitude to burn, but just seems so small. By the sounds, there have been a few tiny tots that have made it. Fingers crossed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
