ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZERRAFOS
___________________________________

The harness racing world is in total shock with the announcement that ZZZZZerrafoss has retired
Trainer Jeremy Seal has done a wonderful job patching up the 9 year over the years from all the leg related injuries ZZZZ has suffered.
ZZZZ will be etched in the history books perhaps forever being the last ever Gawler Cup winner
These stats are subject to an overall check
86 RUNS
28 WINS
28 PLACES
ABOUT $113000 IN PRIZEMONIES

It didnt seem that long ago when JS and the Doc got a horse called CULLINAN
From memory they failed to win a race with CULLINAN
THe Doc I believe gave CULLINAN to JS for breeding
CULLINAN was mated with SAFELY KEPT
The result was ZZZZ
I remember the buzz around the traps when ZZZ started its career
It won 3 out of its first 4/5 runs and we all knew this was a goodun
ZZZ later did some racing in Victoria and finished off racing mainly in SA

Those pink blue diagonal stripes of the reinsman on top of a pacing machine are now memories

MAL, "the Harness racing world is in total shock" is just a little, tiny bit over the top. :oops: :oops:
I suggest you increase your medication slightly and things might return to normal. :wink:

All this wooh ahh about zerrafoss... truth be known, who really cares about the horse whose been retired as a average M1 horse!!! :lol:

im sure when CONTE DE CRISTO retired you all wont say boo about him, but truth be known he is a 10 length better horse than zerrafoss when his on his game, and the records show that!!!

You are a sad sad sad lot.
We had 2 top class horses in SA , ZZZZerafoss and Count Dre Christo.
This state can ill afford to lose good horses.
We have to rely on Dee dees Dream and other Interstate raiders to improve the standards.

There has been a drain of horses leaving our state, some very good ones some handy ones
DEEP POCKETS
ENDEARED
URAJOKIN
BAD BOY NITRO
Thats 4 that I enjoyed backing as they were all consistent brilliant horses.

So when a very good horse in ZZZZ retires overnight it is a total :shock: to me

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZerrafos retired
I think that Jeremy Seal should show some INTENT and find another .....

ROBBERY
Confirmed the amount pinched was $39k
Less $5k back from insurance
Loss $34k
Just what the club didnt need after recording an alledged loss of about 3/4 of a million
