For those that love trotters, sad news that the great True Roman had to be euthanised today. Vale Jake!

Majestic Grace ( by the fastest son of Angus Hall- Majestic Son) is good too !

With a good win at Bendigo, Somethinaboutmaori's Angus Hall son GusnMaori showed that he is good too: http://www.harnesslink.com/Australia...their-breeding

Angus Hall was the leading North American trotting sire before being overtaken by Kadabra, Donato Hanover and Cantab Hall

Yes Noel, it was a great weekend for the trotters starting with Kvintet Avenger winning at what i thought was generous odds of $1.70 in the Yarra Valley Cup on Friday,
and finishing today with Neville Vaughan bolting away with the Wedderburn Trotters Cup and personally for me round 2 of the "Kiesey Cup" at Mt Gambier with the Fav winning again...
Majestic Grace is this prep proving she will be more than a challenge for her star stablemate Claudys Princess whenever they meet, and great to see a "new" Maori clan member showing he will be more than a force to be reckoned with if he keeps his current form up!

Ah very sad!...

May True Roman be running free in the clouds :(

There was a double page feature on True Roman, and his former trainer Graeme Johannesen in Saturday's Bendigo Advertiser...sad to hear that the 34yo died the day after the news article. 73 wins .

Wow 34 years young. What a great innings from the horse and true testament to the care of his connections.
One of my earliest Oz idols from the days when technology couldn't get racing news across the ditch in real time.

Thank heavens for a scratchy radio reception after sunset!!!

Ash..believe Roy Hobbs have accident today and no longer with us. Too sad. RIP

That's very sad news indeed Paul.

Holy crap.
That's terrible for any horse regardless of ability, he had quite a future he was building!
Whata shame, very sad, thnx for letting us know Paul! :(

So sorry for Roy Hobbs and his connections:(
Not long after True Roman passed away.
