Horse with two sires listed in his form

Does this mean they aren't sure who the sire of the soon to be foal is?

I once saw a horse's past performances where the sire was listed as "Unknown sire" - in that instance the horses mare turned up pregnant unexpectedly and they kept the foal - and it happened to race and I believe win a few times.

Never seen two sires listed in a form before though.

Now they have better testing so they know who the sire is when the foal is born.

There is an old book about Hamburg Place that was stolen from me that was pretty interesting. Seeing Hamburg's name reminds me of how mad I am about that!

Wow, who steals books from people? ... I mean other than me of course. I thought I had the market cornered on that.

I did a little searching and just found a horse from the late 40's ....



The winner of his most recent race was named 'Dry' (probably a Claiborne horse)

Imagine what the race call might have sounded like if Blow Me held on to defeat Dry instead of fading to 7th.

How about Blow Me being neck and neck in a race with the previous mentioned horse coming down the stretch.

It was not uncommon back in the day, but today, even if a mare if covered by 2 stallions in a season, DNA testing proves paternity.

Here's another interesting one I just caught...

Blow Me is the sire - and Marriage Vow is the dam.



In case anyone is wondering - Steve Leo, Jr. (the horse) rose from maiden claiming ranks to become a solid stakes winning horse who earned almost 100K in the mid 60's. The moral of the story seems to be that if you give a horse a really foul name ... good things will probably happen.

I guess the horse was named Khakomon Leo at first (so say his past peformances anyway - that is weird for a first time starter) ... but the horse ended up racing under the name Steve Leo, Jr.

Slam Bang is kind of dirty too. What kind of closet perverts owned horses back in the day?
