When you good you good get in there you little beauty

I am not normally one to get over excited and over-hyped on any horse, but what an absolute FANTASTIC achievement by Lizard's Desire beaten by a bob of noses in the world richest race; Kobus/ Albert what a feat; to think you came within a whisker of breeding the WORLD CUP WINNER - my command of the English language fails me - incredible and hearty congratulations:)-D

now that is a REAL breeding feat !! Well done Bravo your kindness has been repaid again(tu)

i dont know whether to laugh or cry...well done to all concerned with lizards desire...bravo where the sisters and brothers to him,who is she in foal to etc

When I was working on the youth day and a breeder let us down with a horse to lease Bravo offered me the half sister to L Desire to be the prize for the youngsters but the Alchemy had already stepped in to save the day or Dave's son would now be involved in the career of the half sister to this guy.
