Hey Paul....
Is that your inquisitive son asking all these questions again. Is he or you a Denzel Washington fan???
Being by Washington VC I suspected but didn't know for sure so I asked a local man here who should know...his breeder Dave Kennedy.
To set the record straight I phoned the breeder Dave Kennedy and then e.mailed the man who bought him originally from Dave as a weanling, Richard Aubrey who onsold him to Peter Bagrie his original racing trainer prior to his on sale to one G Hall Snr. The rest is history as they say.
Below is what I found out.....
(E.mail copied...)
Greetings…
I am trying to settle point of discussion.
I have spoken to Dave Kennedy (breeder) who tells me that itwas you, not him who named the great horse THEMIGHTYQUINN.
Can you please tell me how he came to be so named?
Cheers
Tony Cahill
HiAnthony
Thanksfor your message It will be good to clear this up I've heard the storymisreported
A number of times.We purchased tmq at a mixed stock sale in Christchurch Wewanted to call him Denzel Washington but that name was taken so we looked upthe names of the movies he had starred in Themightyquinn stood out to me as myearly recollections of trotting were seeing Young Quinn racing he wasalso referred to as Themightyquinn.so that's what we went with the rest ishistory
Hopethis answers your question
Regards Richard
