Hello!
I am new here, but want to ask you something. I am from Ukrane and I have just bought a mare. She is from Mistnik. He was a GB Thoroughbred. I was told that he performed quite good at races. Have you ever heard of him?
The mare gave birth to a nice filly. she is sooo energetic and I am thinking that maybe this is his patrimony?! She looks like a future champion.So I would really appreciate if you can provide me with some info about him, his picture would be perfect.
thank you,Yanina
A son of the Eclipse winner, Trepan, he raced successfully in Russia, evidently over sprint distances.
Here’s his pedigree… http://www.pedigreequery.com/mistnik
Sal is pretty clued up about the Russian stud book (!) so could probably shed some more light.
Thanx for all your replies! I have checked the pedigree!
I need to get some info about Sherzar as well. He was brought from Ireland!
If you know anything about is racing career or anything else, please. let me know!
Thanks again!I can’t really add anything much, Rory! Don’t know anything about Sherzar I’m afraid – no TBs of that name that I can find.
Mistnik, as Ven said, was a sprinter – he won 2 Sprinters races as a 3 year old including the Sprinting Championship Stakes, and was third in the colts Trial Stakes (equivilent to the 2000 Guineas).
His numbers of foals registered in the Russian Stud Book are a little erratic – up to 10 foals some years (quite high for Russia), 1 or 2 other years and with some years missing completely. I’m missing form for the early 90s, when most of his progeny were born, so I can’t really tell how he got on. He sired the 2000 Guineas equivilent winner Yupiter in 1996 and a Czech 1000 Guineas placed filly Mest in 1992. He’s also the damsire of Masstab, who won the Russian Derby and St Leger in 1998.
If you have any more clues about Sherzar I’ll have another look for you. Good luck with your filly!
I take it Sherzar isn’t meant to be Shernazar, or weirder still, Shergar, sold to Russia by the IRA. I think we should be told…..
