Rebecca Lund on her
unusually (and attractively) marked standard bred gelding
Champagne King.		 It was heartwarming to see the well patronised Standardbred ring at
2001 Barastoc Horse of the Year

Ridden and led Standardbred
horses (not a trotting sulky in sight !)

Proving that there IS a life after
racing for these
pampered equines.

Victorys Phil won 40 races and $275,000 - the really great part
of the story is ... that his rider today Samantha Mullen from Melton, also drove him in his races.

That was the nicest story I heard all day - Well done Phil.

George Poulter on his delightful Standardbred/Morgan cross,  Box Thorn Baron.
What a great horse and it was obvious that George was having a ball - well done Baron!
