Trackwork
Tai Chi Star was born in Australia; sold to HongKong, then came to NZ. He sadly broke his near foreleg in trackwork and euthanased, 4th of August, 2007. He didn't win any races,but he was such a lovley horse, he was the first racehorse/horse i have ever lost (and hopefully only horse i ever loose). I still think about him all the time,he wasnt anything flash on the track,but he was such a gem of a horse and we all loved him.
RIP Tai Chi Star (AUS)
