Lightning Blue Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 thanks PJ and Hesi, Do Fancy a 'Highland Fling' at the Highlanders , as a long while back just after WW2 a fantastic horse Highland Fling came from a mile back (well 60 yards anyway) to win his 2nd NZ CUP and overtake star galloper Gloaming as the greatest stakewinner in NZ at the time. Lightning Blue with only one NZcup so fancy a NPC Cup to try and match the great Highland Horse with 2 Big wins lol 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a fabulous 'handicap' tale for you , I'll put it on the harness thread instead of PJ's comp thread here . you'll know of this NZ greats but is still amazing what this bloke did for one reason or another.
