Degrees of separation time; turns out Nopie was sired by Chullo, a terrific Argentine racehorse who, as it turns out, injured a suspensory in his last race in South America. New US owners tried to run him up here but he never regained his form. He stood at the No Cal farm of a friend of mine on another board, Joan Rogers, until Chullo's little brother was champion 2yo in Argentina a couple of years ago. After that, some Argentines decided to bring him home, where he is getting more and better mares. Happy ending for Nopie's dad, too.
