Anyone here got a regular horse with not-so regular bloodlines? When I got my horse Border, I wasn't too interested in his breeding. He was retred from racing for the best part of a year & I was just focusing on re-training him & getting to know the guy. After about 5 months of having him I started reading a book about Secreteriat. Great book, enjoyed it, blah-de-blah. A few days later, I was a bit bored so I whipped out Borders passport & googled his sire Green Desert. I was pretty shocked to head that a covering him was worth about $25'000 :shock: And I paid pennies for Border! Even more intregued, I went into Weatherbys & looked up his family tree. I recognised names such as Man O' War, Never Bend & Somethingroyal. They were in the book about Secreteriat! Turns out Somethingroyal is his great grandmother :-o It was really eye opening to see my baby has quite a famous family around him! Nobody here really knows much about American racehorses, but since theres a lot of you guys on here someone is bound to know who these guys are :lol:
So this got me wondering, any of you guys got a horse with a famous family tree?
