Cream Ridge, NJ —– The New Zealand sensation, Lazarus N, will stand stud in 2019 and his owner Duncan Taylor has generously donated a share to the Standardbred Retirement Foundation. The share will sell at the Harrisburg Mixed Sale on Thursday (Nov. 8).

Lazarus N is the richest Standardbred of all time from New Zealand and holds seven track records at various distances. He was New Zealand’s Pacer of the Year in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and is that nation’s defending Horse of the Year. He has earnings that top $4 million.

Duncan Taylor, CEO of Taylor Made Sales and Stallions has been involved with horses most of his life, and is also a partner in California Chrome. Lazarus N was trained by Mark Purdon while in New Zealand, then Jimmy Takter in the U.S., and Ernie Martinez is the man who brought them all together.

“The Wonder from Down Under” will stand at Deo Volente Farm.

Coincidentally, the SRF story began because of a New Zealand horse, Nadala, who was owned by one of SRF’s founders.

“The SRF, its supporters and friends are most appreciative of this generous gift,” said the Executive Director and co-founder Judith Bokman. “This wonderful gift could not have come at a better time in the history of the organization. We have 388 trotters and pacers under our expense. It’s a monumental task to meet their needs, and more and more people are reaching out to us because of the program’s unique way to protect each horse so no horse is ever at risk again. Funding the program has been the SRF’s greatest struggle for 29 years.”

The public is loving this kindness, applauding this gift. See the comments on SRF’s Facebook page. For further information please contact SRF at 609.738.3255 or via email at SrfHorsesandKids@gmail.com. Visit our website at www.AdoptaHorse.org.
