Decanka

Recommended Posts

I certainly remember her.My friend had a horse that he thought was pretty smart and took him to the Te Aroha trials only to get beaten into 2nd by 6 lengths by Decanka.

The following trial at Cambridge he ran 2nd again behind a horse who may or may not have been under the influence of something,because he got beaten by 12 lengths by a horse who never won a race.

At least my friends horse did a bit more than that when he finally got to the races

I thought that name sounded familiar.  We just secured a mare called Rhyme (by Spinning World) from Windsor Park and Decanka is her 3rd dam.  The family is still going strong with Rhyme's daughter Ash a winner of 3 out of the last 4 and a number of well related siblings on the way.

 

It was Decanka's damsire Test Case that attracted us - a son of Tessa Gillian and hence a full brother to Eight Carat's grand dam Courtessa.  A number of black type winners after he hit the pedigree (Decanka produced Ready to Explode).

 

Same family as Kiwi, The Phantom Chance etc.
