Those Kiwis are hard to beat...And when they're on top they can't stop baa-ing. NZ Thoroughbred News reports: 'Following on from the Grp 1 double scalped by theKiwis at Eagle Farm last weekend, the NZ-bred galloper Our Lukas (NZ) (Generous) kept the winning momentum up at the Queensland Winter Carnival, with a pillar-to-post win in the Listed Ipswich Cup (2150m) at Ipswich on Saturday...The NZ suffix has now been to the fore in eight black-type races in Brisbane so far this winter, andin a remarkable 75 Group and Listed races throughout Australia this season.' Can't argue with stats like that!
