Others that cause annoyance - Citidancer (Ire,1986) and Citidancer (USA,1987), both SWs and sires; Saros (GB,1974) and Saros (Fra,1974) - both raced in Germany about the same time, but only the first one stood in California; Sword Dance (Ire) comes mighty close to champion Sword Dancer; Red God (USA) vs. Red God (Aus); Admiral Drake (Fr) a champion vs. Admiral Drake (US). Have recently seen the names of several legendary broodmares repeated IN THE US, which I find offensive.
