He stood a Grangewilliam. Then he was bought by Kerry Packer and became what many believe, was the best sire of polo ponies in the world. He may have sired another SW or two, but certainly not many.

Shad 1,010 Report post Posted October 18 Interesting story about zed, a sire that no one really fancied early on, and was sent to a station in the Canterbury high country to serve station hacks, along with St Reims, who I think passed on and was buried there, interesting how things can change, how they will be lining up for him, mind you many more opportunities in Australia for staying horses, and they just know how to train them.

Did a Google of Norman Pentaquad , very interesting life . Dodged a bullet a few times , he had an extra spare hoof growing when born and was small and runty , was lucky as a blueblood so got it cut off and given a chance , earned 500 bucks on track in US but dodge another bullet when brought to NZ , then was going to be released in bush but was brought by Kerry Packer and as of 2009 was putting his now only four feet up at KPs ranch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
