PWJ Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Here's a second trivia teaser for the weekend: I was stood by a Khan while my dam was bred by another Khan. I won a Chester Cup among 11 wins in 36 starts for Dick Hern. My progeny loved the wet tracks and one of the best of them won a major Winter handicap at Trentham. I later lived in the Waikato and saw out my days in sunny Tahiti. Who am I ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Something a bit different now: If you turned down this road and knew where to look you could find the grave of a famous horse - but who ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Show Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 That looks so familiar. Is it near Bulls and the grave of Bess, one of only a handful of horses from WWI that returned home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
