Three-time Group One winner and 2023 New Zealand Horse of the Year Sharp 'N' Smart has been retired.
A winner of the Spring Champion Stakes in Sydney and the Herbie Dyke Stakes and New Zealand Derby at Te Rapa, Sharp 'N' Smart won seven of his 35 races, earning $3.44 million.

New start time for the last @TeRapaRacing is 5.25pm; looks like the lightning has passed by and the sky has markedly lightened. 🤞

NZ 1000 Guineas winner Angels Halo provides Hollie Elliot @Holliew142 with her third Group One victory after the 2019 Captain Cook Stakes with Wyndspelle and 2021 Levin Classic with Bonham 2021, both in partnership with Johno Benner.
Jockey Masa Hashizume claims his first.

Mark Du Plessis returns to New Zealand racing for the first time since the 2017-18 season when he rides on Saturday @TeRapaRacing, a track 108 of his 867 NZ wins have come.
Great to see him back!
