A couple questions for you:

1. Where do you live?
2. Why do I see so many US bred horses yet have never heard of many of these sires?

Thanks,
Scott

Alright Scott,

I live in a West Yorkshire hole called Halifax at present, although originally from the far nicer Norwich, Norfolk.

I would imagine the reason that you haven't heard of the sires is that they raced in Europe, and many horses that race in Britain are bought from the American sales.

Harry.
