Bigger track and softer fields? How much did the owners pay to ship him from down under to the USA, and race in NW 5000L5?
Correct Luc. I bought 6 of them, never paid anything like what these Waikiki owners probably did, but 3 of the 6 I brought over were better than this one, and probably at 1/3 the price. One of them never even raced here. He got sick here, and that was that. NZ agents are full of it, for the most part. I was offered Francoharrington N 2 years ago. I passed on him, thankfully. He is now a $5000 claimer at MVR. They wanted $60,000NZD for him then. It is a HUGE gamble.

DIBABA last race: https://harness.hrnz.co.nz/gws/ws/r/infohorsews/wsd06x?Arg=hrnzg-Ptype&Arg=RaceVideo&Arg=hrnzg-RacehdrID&Arg=252392 This track is a lesser one but her time of 2:22s for the METRO circuit's 1950m races are solid enough. $90,000 USD landed is a lot.
Someone else bought her? If not, you still could.
