So tell me about Martini.
13:44
Yeah, well, she was a...
13:47
Not Thoroughbred, but as close as you could get to Thoroughbred, but coming out of the stock camp.
13:54
You've got to remember, to breed the Turlings horses, we started off with a beautiful lot of station horses.
14:06
The first stallion we had was called Worksop and he was a thoroughbred horse and bred from all the horses.
14:13
Some of them would have a bit of draught, a bit of pony, a bit of everything.

18:09
But the umpire gives them a capacity to play with the rules.
18:16
And that's very difficult to beat.
18:18
Once the whistle goes, whatever the umpire decides is what's going to happen.
18:24
So I said, I'm not going to New Zealand.
20:58
I'm glad that I found that out.
