I daresay its razor Sharp the sprinter from the 1980s. He was a NSW horse when he w best known but I'll see if I can find any info on his early races.

[ally2]

he certainly won his group races in Sydney & Melbourne 1982 -84 & of course there is the Razor Sharp Handicap at Randwick & he was bred in NSW .....if it's the '77

[Gary Grayson]

Yes, he won at least one Newmarket that I remember. I always thought he was owned by WA people but I have been told that no he was a QLD horse won won group races in NSW and Melbourne.

[acaciaalba]

he won the Newmarket in 82 and 83. (Vic)
the AJC Challenge stakes in 82 and 83 (NSW )
and the STC Missile stakes in 82. (NSW )

he was bred in NSW by Fred Peisah ( spelling ). Lomar Park .
dont know if he raced him, tho, have ask someone who will know, if he ever gets back to me.
why the interest ?

[Gary Grayson]

I was involved in a conversation involving good straight six horses when a friend said Razor Sharp was a QLD horse. I thought he was a WA horse. So here I am still trying to find out which state laid claim to him.

Started his career with an inglorious run at Gosford as a 2yo and I remember him as a NSW horse.

However Heron Bridge that won the 1983 or 84? Newmarket was a WA horse as was Placid Ark who came on the scene about 1987 could that be the cause of the confusion.

[acaciaalba]

razor sharp ran 71 times, for 15 wins,,,13 seconds,,,9 thirds. he didnt win at 2,,but did run 2nd at muswellbrook.
he had 6 races at 3. he ran 1st in a maiden at Newcastle over 900mtrs.
and also won the Gosford Pacesetters and the Grafton Ramornie.
and second in the AJC Galaxy.
(he had a full brother called Steel Blade who won a few too.)
and all the other wins,,,newmarket etc,,,,
so,,,from those wins,,one wouldnt think he was a Qld or WA horse ???
however,,,,,my source is still seeking,,,,,
a maiden at Newie says he is a NSW horse ???

[Gary Grayson]

Thank you very much. I was confusing the horse with Placd Ark. 'Tis just wonderful as you age and your memory lets you down. Anyway my friend who says Razor was a Q'lander is older than I and his memory is also questionable.
