Cim-E or Cim as we call him is now 31 years old. Born in 81 came up from Oklahoma at age 4 from of the track. I was blessed with him since 1993bigbadv97https://www.blogger.com/profile/03166242644529667825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478137110492857809.post-17198270891773662952010-08-26T12:41:28.685-04:002010-08-26T12:41:28.685-04:00Hi Frances,

And thank you, Si...Thank you Jessica, M, and Mark.<br /><br />And thank you, Sid, for planting the seed of inspiration that got me started.<br /><br />Yes, his male line survived briefly through Gallant Romeo, and My Gallant and Nalees Man sired a few nice ones, too. Grandson Elocutionist was responsible for "The DE-mon!" (aka Demons Begone). I left out good Gallant Man fillies Spicy Living, Pattee Canyon, Coraggioso, etc., but was most remiss in neglecting to point out that champion sprinter Guilty Conscience was out of a Gallant Man mare.<br /><br />I also overlooked one important point -- that Gallant Man was 3x3 to Mumtaz Mahal daughter Mah Mahal. Good stuff, that!Frances J.

Believe it or not, I too have some pix of the aged Gallant Man buried somewhere and this post brought back great memories of him, his pedigree, and his fate in that amazing Derby that could have been his if not for Shoe's faux pas! His male line carried on for a while, and his son Gallant Romeo had, among others, the very good Preakness winner Elocutionist and the champion sprinter Gallant Bob, a game little colt who reminded me a lot of Gallant Man.<br /><br />Really, what struck me most about your post--and my visit with him--was his size! Incredible that this little horse accomplished so much, and any account of him without mention of this very obvious fact doesn't do complete justice to his story and legacy.
