PWJ Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Okay maybe this will be a little tougher. The very first mare I ever bought (for myself) had an obscure pedigree. Her granddam had run 4th in both the NZ Cup & NZ Oaks - she was by Dogger Bank What I want you to tell me though, is who was the sire of my mare ? Only clues - born in the USA, sent to Ireland as a 2yo, and later stood in both the North and South Islands His half-brother was placed in a Kentucky Derby and later sired a leading NZ stallion He was from the Godolphin Arabian sireline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong sireline. This stallion's sire won 18 of his 34 starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Show Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Just as an aside, and I love it when this happens! 🙂 .. whilst I was looking at some sires re this trivia question, namely Noble Bijou, I came across Priceless Gem, Noble Bijou's dam, and her progeny, Lady Winborne and this article. An interesting read about how much impact one broodmare can have .. https://www.thoroughbredracing.com/articles/5120/daughter-who-made-mark-no-other-producer-stakes-winners/ Also Priceless Gem's line leads to Munnings, via Lady Winborne, a sire that has been in the racing news in the US a bit lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a Crested Wave and Crest of the Wave out i think. Crest of the Wave stood opposite the Hopu Hopu base at Ngaruawahia and Crested Wave may have stood at Haunui. Crested Wave by Cozier and Crest of the Wave by Crepello 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crested Wave by Cozier and Crest of the Wave by Crepello Hi NG, sorry for the confusion, I meant that Crested Wave raced by the other name, Crest of the Wave, in the US, but it was changed to Crested Wave when it came to stud here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct on all counts. Dear old Leacroft. Tough Southern girl. Double Speed - unraced - was a Nelson Bunker Hunt stallion. Stood at Waikato Stud and later at Riccarton Stud. Hopeless sire. never left a stakes horse. At least my girl won a race - err at Hokitika ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Okay maybe this one will be a little tougher. The two photos were taken the same day at the same track. Both horses who happen to be full siblings, won. Same ownership, trainer and breeder. Who ? Where ? When ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
