- As we all know ;-) all thoroughbred racehorses are descended from 3 Arab
- stallions. Somebody has just come up with the results of some dna tests
- that seem to show one of those stallions wasn't Arab after all. The
- implication is that other breeds may have to be admitted to the world of
- racing - particularly the Akhal-Teke, still raced in Georgia (no, the asian
- Georgia), and believed to be the true breed of one of those 3 stallions.
