thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
justification : this species is only known from three locations ( cocos , galápagos and malpelo islands ) . regional experts support the plausible threat of the increased duration and frequency of enso events that can cause severe and rapid declines for restricted - range , shallow - water species in this region of the eastern tropical pacific . this species is listed as vulnerable under criterion d2 .
this species is endemic to the eastern pacific , and is only known from three locations : isla del coco , the galápagos and gorgona island , colombia ( hoese and reader 2001 ) .
this reef - associated species lives in crevices and deep recesses in the rocks to depths of 30 m . it feeds on mobile invertebrates but also , like some other elacatinus , this species is a cleaner ; it picks parasites from other fishes .
this species has a restricted distribution and shallow water habitat . in the eastern tropical pacific , severe localized fish species declines have occurred after strong enso events that result in shallow waters that are too warm and nutrient poor for extended periods of time ( grove 1985 , guzmán and cortés 1992 , edgar et al . 2009 ) . the frequency and duration of enso events in this region of the eastern tropical pacific ( e . g . the up - welling zone off the coast of peru , ecuador , colombia , panama , costa rica and the offshore islands ) appears to be increasing ( glynn and ault 2000 , soto 2001 , chen et al . 2004 ) . given this species ' restricted distribution and shallow water habitat , oceanographic environmental changes , such as those associated with future enso events , may have detrimental effects on the survival of this species .
there are no known conservation measures for this species . however , this species ' distribution lies within the isla del coco and galápagos marine protected areas ( wdpa 2006 ) .

mr tiz ( 2 february 1984 – 30 january 2014 ) was a champion new zealand thoroughbred racehorse .

he is best known for his three consecutive wins in the railway stakes ( 1,200 metres ) at ellerslie , the country 's premier sprint race for thoroughbreds .

mr tiz remains the only horse has achieved this feat .

furthermore , he also won new zealand 's other major sprint race , the telegraph handicap ( 1,200 metres ) on two occasions .

trained at matamata by dave and paul o'sullivan , the gelding was bred in australia by international thoroughbred breeders , inc . he raced 36 times for 17 wins , two seconds and six thirds .

dave o'sullivan , one of the most successful trainers in new zealand racing history , labelled mr tiz " the greatest racehorse i 've ever trained " .

mr tiz showed his potential from very early in his career , being placed in his first two starts before a maiden win at paeroa at his third raceday appearance .

from there , his career took off - he won the hawke 's bay guineas in just the fourth start of his career .

but it was as a four-year-old , in the 1988-89 season , that his true ability was observed .

he dead-heated with another excellent new zealand sprinter , westminster , in the railway .

three weeks later , he won his first telegraph , completing a rare railway-telegraph double .

incredibly , in winning the telegraph , he also dead-heated - this time with festal .

he won both races again in the 1989-90 season , and completed his unprecedented railway treble in 1991 .

that win has been claimed as one of the greatest sprint victories in new zealand .

carrying 59 kg , mr tiz was severely checked and all but fell at about the 600 metre mark , and went to the back of the field .

yet from that impossible position , under a huge weight - and in a sprint race - mr tiz , ridden by regular jockey lance o'sullivan , stormed along the rail to win .

the style of the win was " absolutely unforgettable " .

later in the month , he finished second in the telegraph , carrying a crushing 60.5 kg - and handicap weight given due to his brilliance .

three months later came arguably his greatest performance .

unlike stayers , few new zealand sprinters cross the tasman and have success against the best australian sprinters in their own backyard .

in april 1991 , mr tiz won the the galaxy in sydney , one of the premier sprint races in australia .

just like the railway victory a few months before hand , what made this win more remarkable was the manner in which he won the race .

near the back of the field at the home turn , and seemingly in a hopeless position with 300 metres to run , mr tiz showed a breathtaking turn of foot and made up an extraordinary amount of ground to record one of the greatest wins by a new zealand horse on australian soil .

his trainer , dave o'sullvan , recounts : " i still ca n't believe how he won the galaxy .

he had 10 horses in front of him and he nearly fell trying to make his run .

it was incredible .

i still get the video out from time to time and it never fails to amaze me " .

in the last start of his career , mr tiz finished third in the group 1 gadsden at flemington in melbourne .

in a country were stayers are more esteemed than sprinters , mr tiz is well considered a champion in his class .

he is honoured with a race carrying his name at ellerslie , the scene of his historic railway treble .

the mr tiz trophy is a listed stakes race for three-year-old horses over 1200m .

it is run on the third and final day of auckland cup week , the most prestigious week of racing on the new zealand calendar .

mr tiz died 30 january 2014 , at the age of 29 .

mr tiz

mr tiz had his own paddock at wexford close by the main stable block and his retirement there lasted more than 15 years .
lance o’sullivan , who rode the big bay in all but two of his wins , remembers mr tiz for more than just his outstanding ability .
mr tiz deadheated for 1st in both of new zealand ' s g1 1200m sprints in 1989 - the railway at ellerslie and telegraph at trentham .
leading new zealand sprinter mr tiz has died at the age of 29 . the son of bletchingly passed away in his paddock at wexford stables on thursday night .
mr tiz , show gate , grey way , battle eve , la mer , oh the list can go on and on . . . . . but i think you all understand what i am saying .
boris was cracking one too that day memphis2 a great kiwi fast horse mr tiz , not like theses ambulnace dogers now that cannot beat off the ambulances and end up in the cans of rin tin tin din din dogs food .
cheers memphis - always recall the outstanding ones with great fondness . mr tiz just had an incredible will to win - like bonecrusher in that respect - and the ability to accelerate hard at the tough end . glad to hear he helped you have a great day !
“he’ll always be special to me , in all those years i never had another like him , ” the master trainer said when relaying news of mr tiz’s passing to the informant . “he was the greatest horse and definitely the most naturally talented that i ever trained . ”

mr tiz was honoured as one of our best - ever sprinters ; winner of three railway handicaps and two telegraphs . remarkably he deadheated , with a different horse each time , in both a railway and a telegraph . his third railway and his subsequent win in sydney ' s rich galaxy rate among the greatest sprint performances this writer has seen .
one of our best ever sprinters , australian - bred mr tiz won ellerslie’s railway stakes three times and new zealand’s other top sprint , the wellington telegraph handicap twice . his remarkable third railway win , after being checked to near last and charging home late , was matched by his stunning defeat of australia’s best sprinters , from near - last 350m out , in the galaxy at randwick .
the australian - born son of champion stallion bletchingly and top kiwi - bred filly yir tiz won 17 of his 36 starts and stakes of $ 909 , 276 . he headed the 1989 - 90 and 1991 - 92 australasian 4yo + classifications in the 1000 - 1200 - metre category , while he was joint top in 1990 - 91 .
by all black from aurarius , desert gold was trained by fred davis for mr t . h . ( tom ) lowry ; the first of three tom lowry’s to be the squire of okawa stud in the hawke’s bay . just as gloaming’s sequence of 19 would have been much longer but for an unexpected defeat , desert gold’s would have been 22 but for a close second at weight - for - age against the older horses at her second - last start as a two - year - old . she won her final start that season and then proceeded through her three - year - old season unbeaten in 14 starts .
the champion short - course performer beat the best australasia had to offer in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a hat - trick of wins in the gr . 1 railway handicap and two editions of the gr . 1 telegraph handicap .
perhaps his career highlight came at randwick in 1991 when he produced a stunning effort under topweight of 58 . 5kg to claim the gr . 1 the galaxy at randwick .
selected and purchased by co - trainer dave o’sullivan at the national sales for $ 110 , 000 , he was raced by sir james and lady fletcher , wilson jolly and colin reynolds .
“he was incredible the weights he was able to carry , he was so powerful in front and it was amazing how he could pick himself up and sprint at the end of his races , ” he said .
“when he won his third railway he carried 58 . 5 kilos off a 47kg minimum . he got decked at the 600 and ended up second last back on the fence , yet he was still able to get up and win by a neck .
“his galaxy win was special . he carried three kilos more than any other runner and got well out of his ground and then when i asked him to , he just let go . nothing would have beaten him that day . ”
“he had two feeds a day and loved the life , ” lance o’sullivan said . “it won’t be the same not being able to go out to his paddock and having a chat with him , but we had already reserved a place for him at the stables to lay him to rest so he’ll have a presence at wexford forever . ”

balmerino is remembered for a pioneering odyssey which brought the new zealand thoroughbred to the world stage . less remembered is what a good galloper he proved himself in new zealand and australia before setting out on his world travels .
bred and raced by waikato dairy farmer ralph stuart , who had bred very successfully from the family previously , balmerino was by trictrac from the grand broodmare dulcie . stuart usually sold his colts ; the elderly farmer was persuaded by brash young trainer brian smith to keep balmerino after smith won five races with older half - sister mia bella to keep the ledger in the black . balmerino was the outstanding three - year - old of 1975 - 76 , proving not only his class but his toughness through a campaign that began in the spring and ended in the queensland winter ; that embraced 18 starts and netted 14 wins and three seconds . that toughness stood to balmerino when , after a truncated four - year - old season which nevertheless provided wins in the air new zealand stakes , awapuni gold cup , sydney autumn stakes and hastings ormond memorial , he headed for europe . stopping off on the way in california , where he notched a win despite missing his main target , he won the valdoe stakes at goodwood first up in england and , on that one outing , ran a rather unlucky second in the prix de l’arc de triomphe to the very good three - year - old alleged ( who won the arc again the following year ) . balmerino then went to italy , where he finished first in the gran premio del jockey club but was relegated that to second . allowing that as at least a moral victory , balmerino had now won in new zealand , australia , the united states , england , and italy – and finished a luckless second in france’s most prestigious race .
as a six - year - old stallion balmerino had one more campaign and , though he’d lost some of his zest for racing , still managed a win in the clive graham stakes at goodwood and seconds in the coronation cup at epsom and the eclipse stakes at sandown . he returned home to stand at middlepark stud , cambridge , and sired some quality gallopers despite suffering the quick abandonment by breeders that was the lot of “colonial - bred” stallions at that time .
44 starts , 18 wins ( nine group one , six of these in australia ) , five seconds , 12 thirds ; nz $ 674 , 225 , a $ 1 , 679 , 495 .
champion nz 3yo bonecrusher can count amongst his home wins the nz derby and air new zealand stakes , followed up with stunning australian wins in sydney including the tancred stakes and ajc derby .
in the following spring bonecrusher won the most memorable cox plate duel with waverley star – being described as the “race of the century” . in this career defining race , bonecrusher’s name continues to live on in equine immortality .
bonecrusher beat at talaq in the australian cup , again displaying a huge will to win and continued on to win another air new zealand stakes at five , despite having injury problems .
a chestnut gelding he was foaled in 1940 , by hunting song - hulomee .
brookby song won his jumping debut by 10 lengths and combining stag - like jumping , stamina and huge weight carry ability in 1948 he became only the third horse to win the great northern , wellington and grand national steeples all in one year .
brookby song carried record weights of 12 stone ( 76kg ) in his second great northern win and 12 stone 7lbs ( 79kg ) in the grand national . he retired with an australasian stakes record for a jumper of £17 , 000 .

a colourful character named dan o’brien bought the musket colt he first named mauser and then renamed carbine at a sylvia park , auckland , auction for 625 guineas . he was unbeaten in five new zealand starts at two , and o’brien took him to melbourne as a spring three - year - old to race in the vrc derby . narrowly beaten – he was reputedly beaten by the jockey’s over - confidence – in the derby , he won two races in melbourne for o’brien before being bought for 3000 pounds by australian sportsman donald wallace . for wallace he became the first true champion of australian racing , transcending victorian / new south wales rivalries . he started 43 times for 33 wins , six seconds and three thirds , his stake earnings of 29 , 626 pounds a record for more than 20 years . the apogee of his racing career was the 1890 melbourne cup , which he won over a record field ( 38 ) , with a record weight ( 10st 5lb , or 66kg ) in record time . no horse had previously won with as much weight ; no horse has since , in more than a hundred years . in the closing stages carbine outfinished a lightweight named highborn , to whom he was conceding 3st 11lb , or 24kg . highborn later won the sydney cup with 9st 3lb ! carbine went to stud for four years in australia , and sired the winners of more than 200 races . then he was sold privately to the duke of portland , and , despite standing in england alongside the great st simon , founded the triple derby - winning dynasty of spearmint , spion kop and felstead . his blood flows through the veins of nearco , hyperion and all their great descendants .
race record : 43 starts , 33 wins , 6 seconds , 3 thirds . prizemoney : 29 , 626 pounds ( a record for over 20 years )
carbine was kindly sponsored by the chianti stallion partnership . chianti is an irish bred 1998 bay stallion by danehill from sabbah . he stands at te runga stud , pukekohe . for further details contact wayne larsen ( studmaster ) at 027 - 497 - 5115 or refer to websites urltoken or www . chianti . co . nz .
great stayers great sensation won three wellington cups , and il tempo two auckland cups and a wellington cup . castletown won three wellington cups and an auckland cup and placed in a melbourne cup and two sydney cups . he also won the new zealand derby as a three - year - old and proved his weight - for - age class with wins in the kelt capital stakes and caulfield stakes .
best staying mare of the 1930s , winning the 1935 new zealand cup and auckland cup , both by six lengths . she won the auckland cup again in 1936 , this time under 9st 3lb ( 58 . 5kg ) – still a weight - carrying record for a mare . then went to australia , aged seven , and won the doncaster and all aged stakes in sydney , the st george stakes in melbourne . at both auckland cup carnivals , she also won the king’s plate and clifford plate .
won seven races during a busy two - year - old season , including manawatu sires’ and ellerslie championship stakes . taken to melbourne as three - year - old , stunned australian public with victory over local champion vain in moonee valley stakes , easily won cox plate and vrc derby . trained syd brown , usual rider bill skelton . bought by californian syndicate and won further five in america before going to stud .
28 starts , 22 wins , one second , one third , 11 , 890 pounds .
outstanding performer at the end of the 1930s defaulter won his last seven races at two years old , and 10 straight as a 3yo , a first - up defeat at three interrupting a sequence of 18 wins .
defaulter beat the best in australia as well as new zealand , winning five weight - for - age races in sydney against vintage opposition and at distances from seven furlongs to two and a quarter miles .
as a four - year - old desert gold took her sequence through to 19 with weight - for - age wins at trentham , ellerslie and riccarton . at five she was still the weight - for - age queen – she won the awapuni gold cup at three , four and five years – and she made several trips to australia where , during those first world war years , she was tremendously popular through her owner donating her winnings to the war relief fund .
at six years of age , coming to the end of her wonderful career , desert gold had three virtual match races on the then - strong taranaki circuit with the rising young star gloaming . she beat him in the first , but gloaming had got tangled in the tapes at the start ; gloaming won the next “match” but this time desert gold lost lengths when her half - brother croesus fell in front of her . finally the decider , the hawera stakes ; and , with no excuses either way this time , the three - year - old gloaming was too good for the mare . desert gold was retired after a few more starts ( which included an easy win in the manawatu stakes ) , hugely popular with the public to the end .
top - class staying mare whose eight wins included four group ones in australia .
at three , after three wins at home , she scored storming wins in the doomben roses and queensland oaks in brisbane . at four she won the caulfield and melbourne cups of 2001 and the bmw the following autumn .
raced by pencarrow stud ltd , trained sheila laxon , usually ridden by australian scott seamer .
more than 70 years after he ran his last race , the winning sequence of 19 which gloaming shared with his great contemporary desert gold remains the new zealand record . but for an unexpected defeat by thespian – a horse he trounced at his next start – as a six - year - old , gloaming would in fact have won 29 in a row . by the end of his marvellous career , gloaming had raced 67 times , won 57 times , run nine seconds – and taken no part in the only race in which he was unplaced . trained by dick mason for a new patron , the canterbury station - holder george dean greenwood , gloaming ( the welkin - light ) was taken back to australia , where he was bred , to have his first start – and won the chelmsford stakes , as a maiden , by eight lengths ! next up he won the ajc derby ; then he returned home to win the new zealand and great northern derbys as well , his feat of winning three derbys unprecedented at that time . his class thoroughly established , gloaming was to cross and re - cross the tasman no fewer than 15 times over the next four seasons . on separate visits to australia , year after year , he met and matched the latest champ… poitrel and beauford , heroic and ballymena . gloaming closed out his career at hastings , the course which was to launch latter - day champions 75 years on . the oldtimer fought a memorable match race with a brilliant sprinter named the hawk , then a six - year - old at the height of his powers – and beat him .

during a career constantly impeded by unsoundness , kindergarten ( kincardine - valadore ) raced till he was nine but had just 35 starts . he won 25 of them , including among his wins three of the greatest weight - carrying performances of his or any era . unarguably the best three - year - old of 1940 - 41 , when he won the last 10 of his 13 starts , kindergarten lined up at that age in the arc easter handicap . no respecter of youth , handicapper frank mcmanemin gave the three - year - old 9st 11lb ( 62kg ) . that was 16lb – about seven kg – above weight - for - age . near the back of a capacity field in the running , kindergarten stormed home to win the big mile by a head . two days later he won the great northern st leger at a mile and three - quarters ( 2800m ) . after breaking down in australia and missing most of his four - year - old season , kindergarten was patched up to tackle the easter again , this time with 10st 3lb ( 65kg ) . again he came from near last to win . in the spring of 1942 , a melbourne cup bid was planned for a five - year - old kindergarten . but the dangers and uncertainties of wartime shipping kept him at home and , on a seemingly light preparation , he tackled the auckland cup instead under 10st 2lb ( 64 . 5kg ) . in the hands of bert ellis , kindergarten took the lead under his big weight five furlongs ( 1000m ) from home , dropped the bit again , then accelerated away in the straight to win by five lengths . though kindergarten never got the chance to prove his class in australia , the opinion held of him by the melbourne handicapper can be ascertained . for three successive melbourne cups he accorded kindergarten top weight at 9st 10lb , 9st 13lb and 10st 6lb respectively . let 30 - year handicapper frank mcmanemin pass verdict : “the best horse i ever handicapped was kindergarten . not only that , he was the best horse i have ever seen . ”

the new zealand record - winning sequence of 19 , shared jointly by desert gold and gloaming , has survived from the 1920s through into the 21st century . it came under its greatest threat from a chestnut colt named mainbrace , at the end of the 1940s .
by a young sire named admiral’s luck , who sadly died after only four seasons at stud , from maneroo , mainbrace was raced in partnership by his dam’s owner , dr thomas fraser , and bob nolan , who handled her matings .
beaten in his debut , mainbrace won his next six starts as a two - year - old . not fully wound up for his three - year - old debut , mainbrace was beaten by the unicorn in a sprint at avondale before turning the tables in the avondale guineas . and that sprint defeat proved significant . mainbrace won his next 15 starts as a three - year - old , all the classics included ( except the new zealand derby at riccarton which , in his absence , the unicorn won ) , and his first two starts as a four - year - old .
then , with a winning sequence of 17 and the desert gold - gloaming record at his mercy , he became so cramped and awkward in his action he had to be retired . only after his death , following a pretty neglected stud career , did an autopsy reveal the all but blocked hind - leg artery which had restricted the flow of blood .
had mainbrace not run second in that first three - year - old outing , he would have won 24 on end . he won from six furlongs ( 1200m ) to the st leger mile and three - quarters ( 2800m ) . the remarkable thing was that he was seldom even given a contest . if a three - year - old is markedly superior to his age group , one might suspect it was a moderate crop ( though mainbrace’s early adversary the unicorn was no moderate ) .
but mainbrace was just as superior to the older horses he regularly beat at weight - for - age . his winning margins in his last five starts as a three - year - old totalled 23 ¾ lengths . on consecutive days , he won the great northern st leger , at a mile and three - quarters , and then the seven - furlong wfa great northern challenge stakes – by six lengths ! mainbrace and his young rider grenville hughes were pop stars to a generation of racegoers .
a bay / brown gelding he was foaled in 1993 , by zabeel - benediction and bred by windsor park stud in cambridge . he was rated by hall of fame studmaster patrick hogan as the best racehorse sired by hall of fame sire – zabeel .
might and power was an outstanding front - running galloper winning 5 group ones at 4 years including the caulfield - melbourne cup double . at 5 years he won four of his six only starts including the w . s . cox plate .
from 33 career starts he won 15 including 7 group ones and over a $ 5 . 2 million . might and power was raced by nick moraitis of sydney , trained by jack denham and mostly ridden by hall of fame jockey jim cassidy and brian york .
a big raw - boned gelding from hawke’s bay , moifaa gained fame in 1904 as the first “colonial’bred” to win england’s famous grand national steeplechase at aintree . it would be many years before another new zealand - bred emulated moifaa’s feat . moifaa subsequently raced for king edward vii and , with empty saddle , was part of the king’s funeral cortege .
o’reilly is a brown horse foaled 1993 , by last tycoon - courtza . he was named after the irish industrialist and famous rugby player tony o’reilly . his dam courtza won the world’s premier 2 year old race - the group i golden slipper in 1989 when ridden by hall of fame jockey shane dye .
o’reilly had a brief but spectacular race career , winning four of only six starts including group ones bayer classic and telegraph handicap before running 2nd in the australian guineas .
he was awarded horse of year & champion sprinter - miler titles for the 1996 - 97 racing season .
o’reilly retired to waikato stud in 1997 . to date he has won four nz general sire premierships and is third on all - time sire of stakes winners behind the hall of fame stallions sir tristram and zabeel .
o’reilly was owned and raced by the chittick family of waikato stud . he was trained by hall of famer trainer dave o’sullivan and paul o’sullivan and was ridden in all his races by hall of fame jockey lance o’sullivan .
the last generation who saw him race , even as youngsters , are pretty much gone now . yet the big chestnut gelding’s name still has power . the son of night raid and entreaty , who lifted hearts and spirits during the depths of the depression years , remained a measuring stick long after his deeds had passed into history . phar lap won 37 of his 51 starts , ran three seconds and two thirds . most of his misses were at the outset of his career , before trainer harry telford got “the hang of him” and his capacity for work . phar lap developed from a wonderful three - year - old into a virtually unbeatable older horse . consider his four - year - old spring in 1930 . in four days at the melbourne cup carnival , he successively won the melbourne ( now mackinnon ) stakes , melbourne cup , linlithgow stakes ( then at a mile , or 1600m ) and the c . b . fisher plate , at a mile and a half ( 2400m ) . before that he’d won five races in sydney , plus the cox plate . nightmarch , who’d beaten a hard - pulling , three - year - old phar lap in the previous year’s melbourne cup , trailed him home four times in the chestnut’s four - year - old spring campaign in sydney before his connections gave up and brought nightmarch home . nightmarch , who’d been unable to keep phar lap warm in sydney , won the new zealand cup under 9st 6lb ( about 60kg ) . four days earlier phar lap had cruised to a three - length victory in the melbourne cup under 9st 12lb ( nearly 63kg ) . though he never raced in new zealand , phar lap drew discerning eyes to the land of his birth and undoubtedly contributed to the progress of the then fledgling national yearling sale at trentham , from whence he’d been purchased for 160 guineas . the first horse to earn the indisputable “champion” tag in australian racing , carbine , was bred in new zealand . so , 40 years later , was the next , phar lap . and so , nearly 30 years on , was the next : tulloch .
it is very fitting that phar lap should be sponsored by our sister organisation - the australian racing hall of fame . the australian racing museum - champions has honoured phar lap is in a very special way at their site in melbourne .
a good horse in new zealand , redcraze became a great horse in australia .
sent to tom smith as a five - year - old , he became a superstar in the spring of 1956 .
after winning three races in sydney , including the metropolitan , he won the wfa caulfield stakes , then the caulfield cup with a record 9st 13lb ( 63kg ) .
under 10st 3lb ( 65kg ) in the melbourne cup , redcraze failed by a half - neck to overhaul the lightweight evening peal , to whom he was conceding the equivalent of 15kg - an outstanding performance .
controversy was to haunt rising fast for much of his career , yet this son of alonzo and faster was undoubtedly one of the best stayers and middle - distance gallopers that ever graced the australasian turf . bought at a trentham sale by a whakatane accountant , leicester spring , rising fast was put with cambridge trainer jack winder and , after a quiet three - year - old season which yielded four wins and a couple of placings from eight starts , he was set as a four - year - old for the royal auckland cup of 1953 . then trainer , jockey and indeed the horse were put out after he was allegedly not ridden on his merits in the te awamutu cup . and , though the horse was reinstated on appeal , he never raced in new zealand again . trained now by ivan tucker , rising fast was set for the 1954 melbourne cup . he won three of five lead - up races in melbourne , then successively won the caulfield cup , cox plate , mackinnon stakes and , under 9st 5lb ( 59 . 5kg ) , the melbourne cup . for good measure , on the final day at flemington , he added the c . b . fisher plate to his tally .
the hoodoo struck again when rising fast returned home and ivan tucker was suspended after one of his team returned a positive test . rising fast was sent to melbourne trainer fred hoysted . his lead - up form in the spring of 1955 wasn’t as good as the previous year – until he charged to victory under 9st 10lb ( 61 . 5kg ) in the caulfield cup . rising fast was an odds - on favourite to complete the never - achieved “double - double” – two caulfield cups and two melbourne cups . he struck all the interference going in a rough - house melbourne cup and still went under by only three - quarters of a length to toporoa , carrying 34lb less .
toporoa’s rider , neville sellwood , was afterwards suspended for two months for failing to prevent toporoa boring out on the champion . rising fast tried the melbourne cup one more time , the following year , and ran a valiant fifth under 10st 2lb ( 64 . 5kg ) .
roughie
won 29 races from 1200m to 2400m , including 11 group ones .
six of these group ones were in queensland , where he won the stradbroke - doomben cup double not once but twice . rough habit went on to win the doomben cup a third time .
roughie was and still is hugely popular in brisbane . as an indication of his popularity , a bar at eagle farm was named the rough habit bar after his sixth group one success there .
his other four group ones were spread between victoria , new south wales and his native new zealand .
show gate was a winner at group level from 1200m to 2400m ( narrowly beaten at 3200m ) and won 30 races , and was nine times placed from 51 starts .
twice new zealand horse of the year ( 1975 and 1977 ) , she loved riccarton and won three of the canterbury jockey club ' s feature races , the stewards handicap ( 1200m ) , churchill stakes ( 1600m ) and canterbury gold cup ( 2000m ) twice apiece .
she beat the best northerners on several north island raids , and was notably unlucky in the 1977 wellington cup .
a new zealand - bred international superstar , winner of 10 group ones in two hemispheres . prepared by bart cummings to win the sydney gloaming stakes and moonee valley cox plate at three . at four in the spring of 2010 , successively won memsie , underwood , yalumba stakes , cox plate , mackinnon stakes ; and was 3rd in the melbourne cup ; then off to europe , where he won a g3 by 12 lengths on debut and went on to beat the best in five further group one wins .
this wonderful mare captured the hearts of the public at the beginning of the new millennium like few other horses in post - war years . tough - minded if not bloody - minded , she had a physique to match and was able to race competitively at top level from two to seven years . sunline raced 45 times for 32 wins , eight seconds and two thirds and an australasian record $ 11 million in stakes . she raced in four countries and won in three ; she twice won the southern hemisphere’s weight - for - age championship , the cox plate ( on the second occasion by a stunning seven lengths ) and was narrowly beaten by northerly going for a third . she twice won sydney’s toughest “metric mile , ” the doncaster handicap , and was second on another occasion when conceding 6kg to her conqueror , over . her optimum distance was probably 1400m , at which she was unbeaten , yet she was able to stretch her high cruising speed to the 2040m of the cox plate , and to hold out the redoubtable fairy king prawn in the tough hong kong international mile . at home , where her races were usually in preparation for another overseas campaign , she was unbeaten in seven starts . sunline was twice elected australian racehorse of the year and four times new zealand horse of the year . in 1999 the authoritative timeform publication named her the best turf mare in the world .
race record : 48 starts , 32 wins , 8 seconds , 2 thirds prizemoney : $ 13million , a record for her time .

in the inaugural series of hall of fame inductees , two thoroughbreds that raced almost entirely outside their country of birth made the list . carbine , who raced in new zealand only as an unbeaten two - year - old and achieved fame across the tasman , and phar lap , who was sold at trentham as a yearling and never raced in his homeland , were champions of such quality that it was felt they deserved to be honoured by the country where they were bred , born and raised .
one other new zealand - bred horse , in the opinion of the hof historical committee , also merits that special recognition .
tulloch , the swampy - backed little colt who attracted the attention of top sydney trainer tommy smith – and not many others – at the 1956 trentham yearling sale , had that extra dimension , that near - freakish ability , which stamps the handful of greats .
he won 36 of his 53 starts , was only once out of the money and set a then australasian stake - earning record of 108 , 293 pounds , a record for 11 years . yet he lost nearly two years of his career – his four - and five - year - old seasons when he should have been at his prime – through a debilitating and recurrent stomach illness which nearly killed him .
you probably had to be around in the late 1950s to appreciate the excitement , emotion and controversy tulloch aroused .
he was a star at two years , his defeat of the victorian champion todman in what was virtually a match race , the ajc sires’ produce stakes , a sensation . todman , winner of the inaugural golden slipper , turned the tables at a shorter distance a week later but they never met again , todman breaking down as a three - year - old . meanwhile tulloch made non - stop headlines through the first half of his three - year - old season , not only for the quality of his form ( his wins in the ajc derby , caulfield guineas and caulfield cup were all stunning performances ) but for his highly controversial scratching from the melbourne cup . tommy smith rated the colt a melbourne cup certainty but was unable to persuade his sick and elderly owner , evelyn haley , to start him after a media campaign , spearheaded by the ezra norton - owned newspapers , against the “cruelty” of running a three - year - old in the two - mile cup .
in tulloch’s absence , straight draw won the 1957 melbourne cup . who owned him ? newspaper tycoon ezra norton . who ran second to straight draw , beaten only a neck ? the three - year - old prince darius , whom tulloch beat by eight lengths in the vrc derby and , in the autumn , by 20 lengths in the ajc st leger .
robbed of his four - year - old season by the recurring gastroenteritis , tulloch resumed in the autumn as a five - year - old and won each of his five comeback starts . the first of these involved a hard - slugging stretch - long duel with victorian weight - for - age star lord which tulloch won by a short head . not bad for a horse considered by most to never quite regain , after that long illness , the height of his three - year - old powers .
tulloch was handicapped at top weight for four melbourne cups and raced in it only once , in the 1960 centenary cup ( after winning the cox plate and mackinnon stakes ) . it was the only time he was unplaced , and neville sellwood received no plaudits for his ride . under 10st 1lb , tulloch was 25 lengths off the leaders at the half - mile and he made ground for seventh behind longshot new zealand mare hi jinx . tulloch wound up his career in queensland , where he won the o’shea stakes and brisbane cup and was given an emotional farewell by a 33 , 000 - strong brisbane crowd .
veandercross had an exciting , come from behind , style of racing and was trained in wanganui .
veandercross was unbeaten in 3 starts at 2 . at 3 years he won the nz 2000 guineas , levin classic and canterbury guineas . at 4 years he won the mackinnon stakes , finished 2nd in both the caulfield and melbourne cups before winning 5 group ones including the lion brown sprint , australian cup , and queen elizabeth stakes .
followed his great sire sir tristram at cambridge stud and in some respects outshone him . still alive and active in 2013 aged 27 , he has achieved four nz and two australian general sire premierships ; 15 dewar awards ( nz and australian progeny earnings combined ) ; 43 group one winners ( two behind his sire ) and 148 stakeswinners ( sir tristram 130 ) . he has sired three melbourne cup winners , four cox plate winners , successful sire sons and grandsons , and is an outstanding broodmare sire .

hi everyone had a minor hiccup today all sorted again . . . sorry for any inconvenience caused to anyone . . . cheers . . . . scooby .
really sad news to hear of the passing overnight of one of our greatest sprinters .
will be laid to rest at wexford stables , the only horse i understand to be given that honour .
a freakish sprinter and his win in the galaxy was simply stunning ; had to be seen to be believed . definitely the best nz sprinter i ' ve seen . glad to see he ' s been given the special honour of being buried at wexford and not entirely unexpected .
here ' s to a great sprinter and those who are connected to him . 30 years , or as near as
damn it is to swearing
, what a wonderful innings .
yes , it is amazing . he raced on hard and fast tracks and lived to 30 years of age . they must have bred some of them tough back in those days .
it was horses like him and others of their eras that drew the racing public and general public to racecourses across nz .
morning madam zelda . i would have expected a better question from a woman of the world such as yourself .

sheriff my precious , you will be horrified to read pentridge prison is no longer full - or likely to be .
it has been turned into a function centre . you can wed your loved one in d division ( i ' m sure they ' d do same sex marriages )
book a private dinner with a former inmate - he ' s quite safe . he was only in for armed robbery .
i ' m sure the ghosts of the long dead prisoners haunt the place - but perhaps i ' m being fanciful .
jeez madam , don ' t give me grief on a saturday . it ' s what i call my unstressing ( that ' s ' stressing ' not ' dressing ' ) day .
not like theses ambulnace dogers now that cannot beat off the ambulances and end up in the cans of rin tin tin din din dogs food .
