To Jim Byrne
The horse is bred by a South African breeder and not by a South African based sire or at that stage broodmare. Overseas bred horses are noted in the racecard. In the old days it was stated as explained before SNL or SSL. My point is its no local horse and in other news thereafter that what it was other news with the sire making headlines. Also my next post explains why the breeder did that after my own research.

Why is this horse Estimation not classified has an American bred horse although it's bred by Klawervlei. The stallion is based in the USA. In the racecards they should have before SNL and SSL meaning sired north of the line and south of the line.

Distorted Humor Colt Surpasses $1.5 MillionBy Frank Angst, September 15, 2015 12:27 PM2 CommentsBreeding, Sales, Kentucky
Photo: Keeneland Photo
Hip 277, a colt by Distorted Humor, brought $1,525,000.
A Distorted Humor colt rocketed to the top about an hour into the second day of the KeenelandSeptember yearling sale on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
Three Chimneys Farm went to $1,525,000 to land the colt, who is out of the grade II-winning Unbridled's Song mareForest Music. The yearling is a half brother to grade III winner Kentuckian, who is by Tiznow. Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent for breeder Barbara Banke's Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, the colt was sold as Hip 277.
The colt was offered about one hour into the second day of the sale, which also is the second of three Book 1 sessions. The winning bid registered as the top price paid for any yearling so far at this year's sale.
Goncalo Torrealba, of Three Chimneys, sees potential for the colt on the track and beyond.
"We looked at the pedigree and hopefully he'll be our next stallion. We may race him with Stonestreet. We're excited. Everything (impressed us)," Torrealba said, then adding that he had to dig in on the bidding. "You always go a little further (than you expect), but the good ones are hard to come by."
Banke said she is interested in buying back in for a percentage in the colt, noting that she loves Forest Music, who won the 2005 Honorable Miss Handicap (gr. II) for Stonestreet at Saratoga Race Course.
"This colt, my son said, 'Do not sell this colt.' And this mare gets runners. I'm going to stay in for some of him," Banke said. "I love the mare. I have a painting of her in my dining room. She was super-fast, she raced every two weeks going around the country. And he looks like a runner, he acts like a runner. He worked hard every day and does everything right."
Three Chimneys could be open for Banke partnering on some level on the colt.
"We're discussing what we think on that. Three Chimneys is all about trying to build good partnerships so we always go in with the idea of a partnership," Torrealba said. "Partnering with good people is what we're about. We're very excited."
I had a share in a Distorted Humor filly that was imported from Aus - was favorite in her first start, but injured herself on the way to the races and was subsequently scratched at the start - never to race. Also proved difficult to get in foal - did produce Star Rating who won a couple of races for us - not sure if she is still around - maybe worthwhile to try and get her in foal again

Distorted Humour in his first two seasons stood in Australia. In his prime he stood for $ 300 000 in the USA. Currently standing for $ 100 000
