Question
Dear Mark

I am trying to find out information about a racehorse in the UK called Petingo.  Have you heard of him?

Regards
Karen  

Answer
Karen -

I know a little bit about him.  He was a miler in England in the '70s ('60s?) that had a reasonably successful stud career.  I believe he sired a colt named Troy that had some success a decade or so back.  I may recall that he either raced or spent some stud time in Japan, but that may not be correct.  Sorry I can't tell you more - I've heard of him but he wasn't a major star in Britain.  I don't really remember that much about him.

Questions about the history of the sport, also questions about handicapping races. I`ve been a racegoer for over 30 years, and I`ve written numerous articles about racing for such magazines as Turf & Sport Digest, Gambling Times, Gambler`s Digest, American Turf Monthly, etc. I wrote the lead Breeders` Cup article for American Turf in 1997 and 1998. I wrote a column for ABC Sports that was carried by AOL for nearly 3 years.
