Stallion One Hit Wonders

Recommended Posts

1st time poster , just felt I had to stick up for the big grey "ONE POUND STERLING" , a bit rough calling him a two horse wonder , looked after "OP" for a couple of seasons at Evergreen Lodge and whilst I was there he won the Australasian Sires Premiership knocking none other than the mighty Sir Tristram off the top , whom had won previous couple of seasons . Brilliant horse to look after , most intelligent stallion I looked after , real character .

One Pound Sterling - McGinty.

Bandmaster II - Uncle Remus [ and Banderol, so technically a two horse wonder! ] 

Amazing where they come from!!

Hi Lloyd., not sure Bandmaster ll really deserves to be in this thread, Regal Band did not go too dusty for Don Couchman.

Ruddington..Ima Kiwi

Trictrac..Balmerino

Perhaps not, Yir Tiz - Regal Band was a good one indeed. Banderol was actually her son! So not by Bandmaster at all. He was actually in our yearling draft when I worked at Haunui years ago.

In my defence, I DID say Bandmaster was perhaps a 'two-hit wonder'! :) [ although even Regal Band was nowhere near as good as Uncle Remus. ]

Yes, No mates, I was probably a bit too harsh on One Pound Sterling. I forgot Castletown completely. However, I think you're a bit mistaken about him being Champion Australasian Sire, defeating Sir T! Don't recall him even being Champion NZ Sire, let alone Australasian Champion. What year was that?

I agree Lloyd, Uncle Remus was a very good horse!. Back to the subject though Don Couchman had a horse called Renoir that was by Creagh en Sgor from memory, Don was convinced it would be a huge star but was dogged by unsoundness...Don was a very very good judge of a horse though.

One Pound Sterling Sired 3 times Wellington Cup winner Castletown so maybe a two hit wonder!

Also Mr Ironclad... as well as many other decent performers... he was a lovely stallion and the Wilsons were good guys to work for...

gubellini...

Thank you for the correction. Gene was a horse that I followed in the twilight of his career and my associated lack of punting success would have driven me from the glass to the bottle.

By the way...wasn't Poetic Prince by Yachtie?

All the best.

Maybe not even a two horse wonder Lloyd. Regal Band was a very good mare.
