Any Kiwis on this board?
 

I wish to apply for assistance.

There is a mare named Penpont (NZ) who has produced several good
performers by local California stallion Unusual Heat. The data I get
from BRIS regarding her and her family is incomplete. In particular,
Penpont, her dam Imposing Star, second dam Black Willow, third dam
Kathleigh, and fourth dam Russleigh are all listed as unraced in New
Zealand. Now a I have in my records that a filly named Black Willow,
with the same pedigree as Penpont's second dam, won the important
Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes in 1974, which leads me to doubt the
unraced status of the rest of these mares, as well. Can anyone assist
me in getting the full story? The BRIS records tell me nothing about
Imposing Star's other produce - the NZ stud book shows me she had 7
other named foals, but nothing about their racing prowess.

Can't write a proper story without the full data, right? One thing I
like about the pedigree is that it includes Crested Wave (ex Crest of
the Wave) (USA), from the Fred Hooper breeding program. He wouldn't
have some sons at stud, would he? Another branch of Herod still
hanging on by the fingernails?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I can tell you that Penpont raced twice in New Zealand in 1998 and finished 2nd in one of the races, and that her half-brother Monte Bay (by Crested Wave) was a decent performer. He won 3 races and was in the first five 33 times in his 60-race career. Another, Silver Screen by Kenfair, won 1 race in 12 starts, and a filly called Oui Molly by Waikiki Star was a non-winner but only raced twice.

2 others, Prince Poser and Orient Star, were sent to Australia. I'm trying to find race records for them but not having much luck at the moment.

Unfortunately I can't find any race records for Black Willow, Kathleigh or Russleigh either. I think this is just due to the incomplete records of the NZ Racing site, I'll have a look in some other places a bit later.
