The first shuttle stallion? I reckon it was Pretendre (GB) who succumbed to the rigours of duty in New Zealand in September 1972. Any other contenders? His visionary owner Nelson Bunker Hunt is still quietly involved in the thoroughbred business in the USA.

Had the pleasure of owning a grandson of Pretendre, beautiful big chestnut boy (Frontal-Enchere).
