~ Ipi Tombe ~
1998 bay mare (Manshood x Carnet De Danse, by Dance In Time)
Great racehorses are rare, and great racing fillies can be rarer still. Precious few of them can consistently dominate their own sex, let alone compete on the highest levels against males. Those that have are an elite company, like Busher, Twilight Tear, or Miesque. Ipi Tombe more than earned her place among them, winning 12 of 14 starts against all comers, from sprints to routes, and often as the high-weight in a field of males. She won races in 4 different countries on 3 separate continents and was named a champion in 2 of them. But the story of Ipi Tombe is unique for more than just her accomplishments, brilliant though they are. Her's is one of racing's greatest rags-to-riches tales, beginning humbly in strife-torn Zimbabwe.
