PWJ Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Okay todays Trivia may be a tricky one. Who am I ? I was a horse, born in Kentucky, raced in England where I won 10 races all at 1 mile and was later exported to NZ. I dropped dead in my paddock near New Plymouth at the age of 13 after relocating from Wanganui. I was a modest stallion who left just 3 stakeswinners but I appear in the pedigree of a prominent NZ stallion of the 80s and also a famous trans-Tasman entire who later also stood at stud. My dad won 27 races and ran 2nd in a USA Triple Crown race. My mum was a half-sister to 4 stallions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 2 hours ago, ngakonui grass said: whistling wind sire of waft ,dam of kind regards dam of Vice regal, Correct NG. Who were the other two Gr1 winners - one was a Kiwi-bred Stradbroke winner who went to stud in Oz, the other a Rosehill Guineas winner who went to stud in NZ ? Neither had Vice Regal in their pedigrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
