I am a real fan. I love the area that he comes from.

Yes, horses come natural to them, because after all it is the Silk Road area.

His record is 5 starts 4 wins and a 2nd. First 2 races in Kazakhstan then raced in Russia once and last 2 starts at Meydan. Earnings are £527,345

And we complain about our tracks!

Blaird, at least he has two fans in NZ -  LOL

I love the story, yes a big fan, hope he races well in the World Cup. I didn't know much about Kazakhstan so did some research. 

In Kazakhstan, horses hold a special place in the hearts of the people. Let’s explore their deep connection with these magnificent animals:

 

• Domestication: The Kazakhs are modern-day descendants of the ancient steppe nomads who domesticated horses 6,000 years ago. These herdsmen have a rich heritage tied to these noble creatures.
• Horse Meat: Horse meat is a staple in the Kazakh diet. Dishes like beshbarmak (boiled horse meat served on noodles) and kazy (horse sausage) are enjoyed during celebrations and to honor guests

Seems this information is outdated, read an article this morning that says he has had 10 wins. Ran 2nd in a Russian Derby and last start won a Group 1 at Meydan.

A win wasn’t to be, but oh what a great story. 
I loved it.

It wasn't the Fairytale it could have been but overall an amazing achievement.

On a side note, the winner was unbelievable. One of the biggest major race wins I've seen.
