Doosra hidden meaning in naming of horse

8 years 4 months ago

In africaans DOOS has two meanings

DOOS is a box.
or slang DOOS means something along the lines of if ZUMA/TRUMP had a kid it would be a DOOS.

So i am guessing with DOOS RA this horse is named thinking about the RA Box at Turfies which i have never been to even when i was a member of the RA.

Great name for a horse.

In Indian language it means

The other one

So for eg in cricket if a leg spinner is bowling and bowls the doorsra then it means he bowled an off break

If you want trust, trust others. If you want respect, respect others. If you want love and peace in your life, give them away. If you want great friends, be one
