the great racing dynasty of the south african lebanese community in horse racing

Thanks titch robert is my uncle also loves his racing and continues to support the industry aswell as my grandfather michael azar who is a life member of the racing association

The JWB that flows @ Marshalls in Umhlanga during the July Season could float a battleship and if Smanje Manje had won I think the party would still be going strong

Titch was that horse don't tell titch named after you if yes could u give us the story behind it?

Named after an ex Natal cricketer "Titch Smith"

You right titch the johnny black flows like the red sea in july season and the kibba is never at a shortage, titch all the lebs think that horse was named after you , you are also a legend.

Have to add Sean Tarry and Mark Tarry to the list.Also the Alexanders have Lebanese on the dam side, as does G.Lerena the jockey I think.Bradley Maroun, Anthony Maroun, and a few other Marouns.The Nassifs.

Previous owner E.Sanan, the Akals, G.Mazaham,Abrosie bros.

Coincidentially was looking at the website Lebanese.co.za. last night and came up with some names, other sports personalities like the Toweels of boxing fame, Pierre Issa the Bafana soccer player etc.

Also Leanne Manas on SABC TV2.

Last population count in S.A. was about 20.000 only so definitely great achievements.

You right mike sack I just gave a list out of my head to all those I never mentioned I apologize sean tarry had a fantastic season he has become a really good trainer, to all the lebanese in the racing game I salute you

Titch are you still an agent? I really admire your knowledge of the game, did you ever consider training?

I meant sad as in uncle mike retiring, Paul is a very good friend of mine and one of the gentlemen of racing

Was Brooke Logan [the racehorse] owned in the family? Made good money one day at Turff when banker to win and striker got up.Jackpot paid about R25000 as did the .10cent Pick Six.

No worries sunil uncle mike is far from retirement he is getting on though but is in his shop everyday. Thanks man

Yes mike my grandfather and sally abraham owned brook logan glad it proved succesful for you!
