That is so correct about Ranji Bill, who was a terrific little mare, as tough as they come, gave away big starts in handicaps, and was not much bigger than a pit pony.
Jesus I'm getting old, I remember Dorals Princess and Ranji Bill clearly and Ariel Frost vaguely.

My interest in the family came about initially at the 1990 Inter Dominion in Adelaide. We had a horse in the series named Weona Chief who won a heat and ran third in the final.
Whitby Timer and Whitby Heritage both performed well through the series, trained and driven by Rod Chambers.
I also bought Ima Spicey Lombo a couple of years ago and have a RNR Heaven colt from her to be sold in next year's Sydney APG sale.
Its a long time ago but the champion racehorse and sire Good Time
A bay son of Hal Dale and the Volomite mare, On Time, stood barely fourteen hands high.
He must have left a tribe of small mares.
