Who Am I ???

About Me
- Brian Zipse
- I've been going to the races and following the horses since before I can honestly remember. For example, my best recollection of being in the stands for Secretariat's amazing run in the Belmont was not the race, but the stands shaking so much beneath my feet. Quite an experience for a little guy who just turned 4! Two of my favorite fellow handicappers are my brother and my father. My one year old daughter is already showing signs of loving the horses :>) My favorites...how about Wajima, Spectacular Bid, Fancy Naskra, Five Star Flight, Christmas Past, Princess Rooney, Lady's Secret, With Approval, Paradise Creek, Sunday Silence, Unbridled, Skip Away, Free House. Musket Man and Rachel Alexandra, just to name a few.

Is it Fort Prado?
Sorry, it is not Fort Prado.
I think it's Awad
No, not Awad...and not John Henry, as a few have emailed me. Keep the guesses coming on this site folks.
Dayummm!!! This is why I do research!! Back to the drawing board!
What does it mean named by my owner not my parents? Does that mean he/she was named after the owner? Obviously his/her parents were horses so they could not have named the horse.
Erin, Great question...Sometimes to makes these editions of Who Am I ??? a little more challenging, I do tend to obscure the actual clue with a bit of smoke.
Round Table? I don't think so, but it's a guess.
Sorry, no dice on Round Table.
Silky Sullivan????
Cancel that.
Can we have a decade?
Michael, I am going to hold off giving any hints until a little later in the day. I am confident that someone can get the answer with only the original clues.

Good try Anonymous. Yankee Affair fits with many of the clues, but alas, not all of them.
The correct answer has still not been guessed. This week's edition could go down as the most difficult to date.
T.V. Lark...?
No, not T.V. Lark.
Here are some hints:
-Most of the guesses have been male turf horses...these answers are off base on both accounts.
-This horse's 2nd trainer is very famous. The now deceased owner not so much, although his name is a huge clue.
Susan's Girl?
Erin, did you say Susan's Girl ???
Susan's Girl is ... incorrect.
cigar
beverly d
It is not Cigar, although the correct answer and Cigar were trained by the same man.
LOL, not Beverly D or Beverly Duchossois!
Silver Tree?
Sorry Mandy, we have already established this horse is neither male nor a turf horse.
I got nothin'...best guess at this point is Heatherten. Chenin Blanc was a thought, but does not qualify on too many of the clues.
Kudos Brian, I am not easily stumped when I set to research, LOL...she either flew right past me, or you REALLY went digging!! Either way, I totally give up, LOL
I'm with you Marti. I went all the way back to Regret and can't find anything.
Is it Sharp Susan?
I'm stumped too, Marti...at this point every time a post shows up I'm just saying...please be right. Now wondering if Brian is being tricky with the male horse part, is it a mare OR a gelding? Study long...study wrong.
Sefa's Beauty....?
yeah!!! Looks good LDP
Thanks, now if only Brian will confirm. Sheesh, it better be write, I looked up all I could and she seemed to fit the best.
HEATHERTON!!! Her rider, Randy Romero
It's not Heatherton, LOL...that was my guess...LDP, I think you've nailed it. Brian ought to award cash on this one, LOL...I'd have NEVER found this horse!
Sorry, Marti, I missed where you posted Heatherton :)
It's just gotta be one or the other, tho (Heatherton or Sefa's Beauty)!
He mentioned Mott, so I went on wouldn't you guess it Wikipedia. And since his some of his clues knocked out turf and males, and said the horse had raced over fifty times, I was thinking the mare had to be older. Safa fit the discripition in my head, so that was my conculsion.
Well done LDP !!! The answer is Sefa's Beauty. Named for her owner Farid Sefa. She became the 21st female millionaire in 1986 and won 25 of her 52 lifetime starts.
Wow! I actually got one! YAY!!! lol. I tell you what Brian, I was almost ready to call it quits too, but I love that stubborness in me sometimes.
Way to go LDP!
