Yes, Agatha Christie's favourite character, Monsieur Hercule Poirot and his off siders, Captain ("By Jove!") Hastings and Miss Lemon (M. Poirot's secretary) have indeed saved the day and have sorted out which Stallion earned FF points under the guise of Dubai Excellence.
The following story is from AAP Breeding & Sports, Chris Stoltz:-
Wednesday, 24 August 2005: The Australian Stud Book has identified the mystery stallion who has been stanbing in Western Australia under the guise of Dubai Excellence as the imported entire Samood.
Michael Ford, Keeper of the Australian Stud Book, confirmed the identity of the horse wrongly exported from the UK to Evergreen Lodge in WA as Samood and not Dubai Excellence.
"It seems that the mix-up occurred when both stallions shared a paddock near Newmarket in England" Ford said.
"The wrong stallion left for Europe instead of going into quarantine for his trip to Australia."
According to Weatherbys, the English stud book authority, the blood typing profile of Samood matches that of the stallion currently in Western Australia.
Irish-bred Samood is a half-brother to the exciting shuttle stallion Cape Cross while Dubai Excellence is a half brother to ill fated Godolphin champion Dubai Millenium.
The search is now on by Weatherbys and Darley in the UK for the whereabouts of Dubai Excellence.
It would seem he may be standing at stud under the name of Samood.
Ford said the discovery of the mix-up had saved Australian breeding from a costly and embarrassing fiasco.
"The role of the Australian Stud Book is to ensure the integrity of thoroughbred breeding in Australia” Ford said.
“We have succeeded in preventing the 'mystery' stallion from covering mares and producing foals. "Breeders can be confident in our systems and the processes of the Australian Equine Genetics Research Centre."
I see that the word "fiasco" has been mentioned, I somehow dont think the word "fiasco" comes close to the situation at hand. Hmmmmm
Personally, I think I would of preferred Samood than DE anyway?
This mixup would be a huge embarrassment and somebody would still be standing somewhere in England with a whole lot of egg on their face and possibly newly unemployed.
The question still remains, "Where is Dubai Excellence?"
While the world ponders where this horse is, I have not been a well bunny today and succumed to an asthma attack last night, brought on Iam thinking from the dust in the Lucerne Chaff. (I know what some of you are thinking... No, I didnt stick my head in the bag)... I guess I will be well enough to go into the office tomorrow... Dam! (I missed out on my hot chocolate today).
Friday sees Adam the farrier back here at Massie Lodge to trim the yearlings feet. Lucky him and Evan. Oh, and some sad news... our Dodge colt has been sold. I will miss my little Ozman. However, he is going to a good home at Marburg, so I guess that's something. (Dam! I get too attached to these horses!!)
Let's hope that Jakey and Lenny dont kill themselves when the find themselves stuck in a paddock together!
On that note, I will bid you a warm goodnight until we meet again. Hoorooo!
Logic is the beginning of wisdom; not the end.
