GA/GB – The West, West Australian was the first horse to win the Triple Crown and certainly regarded as one of the great horses of the nineteenth century, although he was not supported by professional gamblers of the times. As a sire he was truly overshadowed by the acclaimed Stockwell and was not considered a siring success. Until West Australian genetics sprung being Man O’ War and as broodmare sire of Musket, the antipodean breeder of breeders. His son Australian (GB) places the Fair Play line with its prepotency.
