Are you an arboreal expert ? What about those trees on the skyline ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 The Friday Flummoxer. Okay this is going to be a bit tougher: Name this horse: He was bred in Limerick and sold for 10,500 guineas as a yearling. He stood at stud in NZ and was by a winner of the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. One of his better performers was runner-up in a Sydney Cup. Go for it !
