One of New Zealand’s great trainers Trevor McKee has died after a battle with illness.
Along with his son Stephen, they trained one of New Zealand’s all-time greats Sunline.
She won numerous Group 1s including two comprehensive Cox Plates.
Now on the eve of another Doncaster Mile, we remember she won two of them as well in different fashions – one by lengths as a filly and one three years later by a nose from Shogun Lodge.
He is being fondly remembered, on both sides of the Tasman, as both a great horseman but also as a fine gentleman and racing ambassador.
