The Spionetta or "Spi" family???

Postby malcolm32 » Sat Mar 19, 2005 5:18 pm

Are there any new and promising members of this great NZ family around.

I remember what a sensational sprinter Murphy's Blu Boy was.

I hope he stands at Stud, as his speed and pedigree mustn't be wasted.

His grandsire Afleet has a very good grandson in Afleet Alex.

Thanks to anyone who can help
Sir Malcolm

Hallo,
I heard about that family via a different source.
As I see he traces back to Flaming Vixen. Several years ago A sire named Rocket stood in Germany and he trace in the damline to the same mare. Rocket was the sire of several good milers and left 2 sons Mr. Rock's and Zampano in Germany.

Another strain of this family is Lady Di and what I found most intriguing in her damline turns up a sire named Principor (by Prince Rose) and he the closest relative I ever saw of the influentiel German Sire Birkhahn!

best regards, Bettina
