For many years, engineer and site owner Juan Macedo has maintained a well assembled site on that country's Thoroughbred racing. He is the kind of person who likes to help other people and I am sure he will gladly assist you. Don't hesitate to write to him in English. Logon to:

That's helpful... I notice that my stallion MUSANID was recently exported to Venezuela. His information was updated on the Pedigree Query database, but my emails to his new owner bounced. I'll try that link.
thanks!

If you have any difficulty with the Spanish language in general, please don't hesitate to ask me. By the way, my site has a section devoted to "coat colors" in several languages. Just logon to: http://www.geocities.com/thoroughbredpr/ and look for "coat color indifferent languages".

The best way to search for information on SA Thoroughbreds in general is via links from countries with older Thoroughbred tradition like Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay. Some time ago I searched and found a site with multiple SA sites and posted it here (I believe). Let me see if something else appears.
