Are you saying he won run in Canada anymore? Is he officially based in the US now?

I always considered SW an Australian horse racing in HK and Japan.

I guess it's an easy mistake for someone in the UAE to assume he's an American horse.

That's all I'm saying.

I know he's Canadian.....

Oh. I see. But now that I think of it he didn't run much up in Canada. The classics sure, but not much else that I can recall. Not trying to badger you, just trying to understand. Thanks.

Sorry, I've also been a little choked to see Manduro as a French horse so much lately.

Where was he from?

Bred in Germany by Monsun.

Question. Does any one know if he was the first German bred to have the highest rating of the year?

I can imagine he probably is.

I know what you're all saying about where a horse is 'from'. It's a difficult argument. Over here we have plenty of horses bred in America, but if they happened to go back to America and race (for the English trainer), I know I'd refer to the horse as being an English horse.

Both ways work, I suppose.

Don't be sorry, Magic man..... I can understand that!

If i read that Salaam Dubai or Thajja are running at Nad Al Sheba, i don't think twice about where they're from..... to me they're UAE kids and my only point is that whoever wrote the piece made an assumption.

We all know horsies from where you're from rule. Why do you think HK is so great?
