Lloyd Vivian 742 Report post Posted December 16, 2013 Yep a Super Sire in every respect. His replacement son is happily ensconced at Waikato Stud and is set to fight out his first NZ Title with O'Reilly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insider 3,942 Report post Posted December 16, 2013 An absolute super star. I bred a Stakes Winner from two live foals by him. [One foal died at seven days and the other live one, won its only start and then went wrong.] That's 50% Stakes Winners to foals! Wouldn't you love that every time you bred a foal? Furthermore Sir Patrick was an absolute champion in the way he accommodated me especially after the first one died at seven days.

GGlover 7 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 The one and only time I've been to Te Rapa on Raceday, I purchased a Zabeel cap for $30. Only to be spotted later on by Sir Patrick Hogan, and he asked me how much they were selling the caps for, I told him $30. He got some money out of his pocket and gave me $30, and I said thank you and shook his hand. I still have this cap to this day!! Thanks for the memories Zabeel, and happy retirement!! hedley and Centrofold 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
