More On Zemindar

Belmont Bloodstock's Damon Gabbedy filled in the gap in my memory by reminding me that Tony Elwood was and is the name of the Man True To His Word who bought and raced Zemindar (see earlier post). The colt was trained by Sue Cornwell, described by Damon as a 'very talented private boutique trainer' who also trained the high class sprinter Storaia.

Damon bought Iman, the dam of Imananabaa, as a yearling for $30,000 in 1993, "a magnificent black with a touch of grey. She showed us heaps of ability but was injured and retired to stud unraced." Damon named Iman (Zemindar-Born Rich) after the rather good-looking wife of David Bowie, whence comes the name Ms Bowie, the Group-placed older full sister to Imananabaa.

I trust when Imanana-b-a-a becomes a producer none of her progeny, given most likely they will be bred in New Zealand, will be named after sheep.
