I hope he goes good for the owners but i think his day's are numbered he will struggle against the big boy's and girls over there but i could be wrong.
I see Atomic Ark is now in Perth racing....
Did he have problems in Sydney after he came down from Dixons ? Bond will probably get him winning 10 in a row

That's the 'Ark' family from Tassie. Down there it goes back to the early to mid 1930's at least.
Bruce Usher had it for years and before him a fella by the name of Ian Blackburn had it and before him I think it was his Dad that had it and that's where the original Ark tag came from. I think the first one was somewhere in the mid 1950's. That particular branch took off from a mare called Annette's Raid. A very nice fella by the name of Carl Ryman has most if not all of the family now. I met him years ago one night at HP and he told me that when he bought into that damline he promised to keep the Ark prefix/suffix going and he has done just that.
