So most of the horses at Derby Farms are either &quot;W&quot; horses or &quot;R&quot; horses. The W horses (Whidbey, George (Washington), Willa, Wanda, Wittie, Walentine, Wawona and others) are sired by Weisswein, the &quot;R&quot; horses (Rebecca (Valorie's horse), Riona, Rudolf Valentino, Rane, Roulette and others) are by either Rodioso, Ruffian or Resonanz. <br> <br>Oliver isn't pedigreed so his name doesn't follow those lines (although we've been told his sire is Phantasz).<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=409539" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/larryosterman/archive/2005/04/18/409269.aspx#409522Tue, 19 Apr 2005 06:06:34 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:409522HKMe again, sorry, mental typo.
