YOUNG RUFUS “You become a champion by fighting one more round. When things get tough you fight one more round.” A sensational pacer that wore down his opposition with relentless determination, a winner of no less than 7 Group One races a fact that AUSTRALIAN breeders took to heart and bred ten times the mares NEW ZEALAND breeders did to YOUNG RUFUS last year. Now I know why NEW ZEALANDER’S can’t win INTER DOMINION PACING FINALS … and for that fact the fee has been adjusted accordingly. 151
