He was a really tough old horse, carried record weights and won anyway.
74 starts, 29 wins, 16 seconds, 7 thirds, $5,182,791.
He was 100% NZ, but Australians loved him and adopted him as their own as well - especially in Queensland, where he won their Stradbroke Handicap 2 years in a row in the early 90s.
I'm trying to find a video of one of his best wins in Australia, but YouTube doesn't have it.
In that race he was pretty much last with a furlong to go under a huge weight but still flew down the outside to win.
He's the same age as me, 22! Here's a recent pic:
