Both have shown they can run with placings at Ashburton and Addington and are at a "reasonable" , but by no means , bargain prices.
No experience with importing horses from NZ to Australia and wondering if anyone has any experience or advice.
Down the track I can certainly see them both as good enough to race competitively at Menangle or Newcastle ( I may be just a dreamer here, but what the heck!) and with the greatly increased prizemoney in NSW in the coming year , I seek some direction.
This will just be a family venture and in no way would I / we be thinking that this is a way to become "rich". Just a way to increase our harness racing involvement.
