Nice Option 63 Report post Posted February 13, 2017 I did have to laugh. Despite my post yesterday regarding Veitchy and the exposure out weighing the lack of journalistic accuracy, TV One's Breakfast programme provided a screamer on their rolling headlines this morning....

mckenzie 600 Report post Posted February 14, 2017 I've heard Winx called by the nz media a "kiwi horse", "kiwi bred", "kiwi trained". Quite funny but a bit embarrassing when we make such a fuss about ozzies claiming our horses and co. alltheway!!! and elbow 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phar Lap Fan 103 Report post Posted February 16, 2017 On 2/15/2017 at 0:36 AM, Trump said: Out of an Al Akbar mare so a little bit of kiwi in her... Al Akbar was born in Australia, by an American sire out of an English mare. However, her female line traces back 12 generations to Deception, foaled here in 1855. This is the Stepdancer (5) family, which has produced numerous good racehorses. Nereid would be the star of it; Sometime, Fox Myth (sire of Elkayel), Galston, Galilee and Arbroath. El Mondo was unraced but sired winners. Other branches produced El Khobar, Classic Wave and Master Morgan. So, a lot of Kiwi in Winx and damned good stuff! elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trump 2,741 Report post Posted February 17, 2017 Very good PLF. Some good horses in those you mentioned. Al Akbar (Success Express) is providing some nice broodmares - like his father is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
