Ted Winsloe, a three-time premiership-topping trainer who prepared 1212 winners, has died at his Gore home after an illness.
The 69-year-old, who retired from training in July 1998 after holding a licence for 46 seasons, died on Tuesday.
His winning tally placed him second to Rex Cochrane, who had 1479 wins, among New Zealand trainers who have trained in a sole capacity.
Winsloe had group-one success with Tartan Tights, who won the New Zealand One Thousand Guineas and New Zealand Oaks in the 1994-95 season.
Tartan Tights was out of Ultra Sound, who won 15 races when prepared by Winsloe. He won the South Island filly of the year series with Ultra Sound, Sequel Sound and Tartan Tights.
Winsloe topped the New Zealand trainers' premiership in three successive seasons from 1962-63.
On the third occasion he shared the top spot with the late Hector Anderton, when both prepared 61 winners.
The total was a personal best for Winsloe.
He also won seven races on a nine-race card at Gore in October 1964.
