*I was born and bred in a country not known for horse racing, which is even more the case now.
*I won races in four different countries and three different continents.
*My sire was unraced, but he had the breeding of a champion and became a leading sire.
*I won my final eight races all of which were strakes races.
*In each of my defeats I finished 2nd and they were both in my native continent.
*I was undefeated in my short career in the United States.
*I won races between 5 furlongs and a 1 3/8 miles and all of my races were on the same surface.
*After my retirement, I was bred in both Europe and the United States.
*I was a champion at three in one country and then a Horse of the Year in a different country at four.
*Big things were expected of me in the United States, but minor injuries kept me away from fulfilling those goals.
*My final race was in Louisville, Kentucky under the twin spires.

ReplyDeleteBilly Huntington is the Master!!! He knew the great mare from Zimbabwe, Ipi Tombe was today's answer to Who Am I ??? A champion in South Africa and Dubai, Ipi Tombe only made one start in the U.S. before nagging injuries forced her retiremenet. She retired with 12 wins and 2 Seconds in 14 lifetime starts.
