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.

Lots of blah-blah ... and very bad examples ... as always, ditso.

How about Bold Lad, U.S. champion 2YO ... and Bold Lad, British champion 2YO ... and owned by sisters?

How about Spartan Valor ... U.S multiple-stakes winning colt ... and Spartan Valor ... U.S. allowance filly?

Yeah ... you're a geek all right ... and a pretty dumb one at that.
