Comet4 has the wrong sire

Postby Pedigree Ann » Sun Sep 27, 2009 1:46 pm

This time my authority is none-other than Bobinsky-Zamoysky tables. His sire was Charlegmage, the French one foaled in 1926, by Niceas or Sardanapale-Reine Marguerite III, family 4-i. Not the one from 1927, by Gay Crusader. But, of course, Comet4 is locked.

General rant - why don't people check out which horse is the actual sire when there are many choices, instead of picking the first one on the list? Or the first one that catches their eye of the right vintage? Or use some logic; French-bred horse more likely has the French-bred sire than the British or USA one. Okay, rant over.

Comet is fixed.

While people do get careless when it comes to entering the correct parents, it looks like things happened in reverse here - it appears that the French Charlemagne used to be the first entry, but somwhere along the line, somebody changed him to the US version.
