New Zealand Racing Legends - Bonecrusher
1 January 2022
Bonecrusher truly was the 'People's Champion.' One of the greatest racehorses of all time 'The Crusher' needs little introduction. Purchased for $3250 as a yearling, he became the first New Zealand galloper to earn $1 million as 'Big Red' won with sheer guts and determination. Named horse of the year in both Australia and New Zealand, his win in the 1986 Cox Plate will always be remembered as the 'Race of the Century' as he raced into equine immortality.
