Nice story Tim 

I am happy I found that as I just read that Majestic Man died.He often would beat the best sprinters in NZ over the mile. (Of course most races over there are at least 1 mile and a quarter).

He retired to a farm with another horse. They were best buddies and he ran into a fence which he has never done. They didn't elaborate but I guess the injuries were too much to overcome.  He was 9yo and won 24 races and 855,000.


One good thing about the racing down under. If you get caught doping, the penalties are way more severe. In Australia if you do something wrong, you get the book thrown at you.

They have the Racing Integrity Unit in NZ that governs all types of racing,


Then there's the ASSHOLE in NZ who was convicted of 11 counts of animal cruelty after the SPCA installed cameras and an appelate judge in NZ overturned his conviction saying the cameras were illegal.

That fucker should have done to him what he did to the horses.
