Model Man

One of Model Man's best sons Special Preview...my favorite favourite!!!!

Naresh I can't find any footage of SP..can you please?!?

Model Man was.my favourite horse. Loved him to bits! Will never be forgotten. Just like a more recent favourite of mine in Pocket Power. I wonder how he is doing

Special Preview Special Preview wins Smirnoff Sprint
Boom sire Model Man has not had an easy time of it. When he went to stud many breeders derided his future, saying his female line lacked the necessary class. Then when his first crops of youngsters hit the headlines it was “he only gets fillies, his colts don’t run”. Any of the former champion’s critics who were at Scottville on Smirnoff day will have eaten their words. For Model Man’s 2yo son Special Preview leaves his rivals well and truly in a cloud of dust in the Gr1 R350.000 1200m sprint, winning very impressively by four lengths from Cape challenger Bushmanland and Gilded Cage. Special Preview is the first living foal of 6-time winner Modern Music, a half sister Gr1 Mainstay and Champion Stakes winner Call The Guard. Her next foal, a full brother to Special Preview, should attract plenty of attention when he enters the ring at the August 2yo Sale.





Winners of the 1994 Highveld feature awards are honoured on the Rand. Juvenile colt Special Preview is voted Horse of the Season, the first time this award has fallen to a 2yo. Ormond Ferraris and Weichong Mawing collect the trainer and jockey awards, Lionel Cohen (Odessa Stud) gets the breeders prize.

My gosh. Brings back so many memories. Also reminding me why I'm hooked to horseracing.

Around the same time, Lunn had a horse called The Barbican, which was another of my favorites.

When these horsed ran, there was always a buzz on course. Just dont seem to find that too often these days.

Strange also that Lunn never got the support that he deserved, had Secret Rites also after the Model Man era.

model man great horse I recall 3 of his races like they were yesterday the first his duel with Potomac in the sa 2000 where they slugged it out ,his comeback run in a top division sprint at greyville where I think he beat a top sprinter by the name of bold west from the brown yard over 1100m and then the greatest race of them all his duel with bush telegraph and main man at clairwood...sealegs do you remember en avant of the lunns she was an irish filly by I think Sallust ..lightening fast ..he also had camp leader and prince of freedom also top horses ..top trainer mr lunn
