Petingo

Petingo (1965–1976) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career which lasted from June 1967 until August 1968 he ran nine times and won six races. In 1967 he was unbeaten in three starts including the Gimcrack Stakes and the Middle Park Stakes and was officially rated the best two-year-old in Britain. In the following year he was defeated by Sir Ivor in the 2000 Guineas but won the St. James's Palace Stakes and the Sussex Stakes. He was then retired to stud where he proved to be a very successful stallion before his death at the age of eleven.

Background

Petingo was a big, powerfully-built bay horse with a white blaze and white socks on his hind legs. He was bred by Nicholas Hall's Pinfold Stud at Marthall, near Knutsford in Cheshire. He was sired by Petition, whose wins included the Eclipse Stakes and who was best known at stud for getting the outstanding filly Petite Etoile. His dam, Alcazar was a French-bred daughter of the Ascot Gold Cup winner Alycidon and won one minor race at Newmarket Racecourse. As a descendant of the broodmare Straight Sequence, she came from the same branch of Thoroughbred family 22 which produced Queenpot (1000 Guineas), Northjet (Prix Jacques le Marois, Prix du Moulin) and Flying Paster.

Summer Song

by: Podunk

There is nothing like the
Smell of a summer breeze
Nothing like the chill from
The shadow of a shady tree
Gonna go down to the river
Gonna go down make it right
And send all my love to your maker
For making you right
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
Then this could be our summer song
There's nothing like the
Way that you say your on my side
And I want to know that
Words help me days go by
Gonna go down to the river
Gonna go down make it right
And send all my love to your maker
Ffor making you right
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
Then this could be our summer song
Let me make you understand
Just take me by the hand
Let me show you all i can
And be your only man
If I could only make you see
Just what you mean to me
You know it won't be to long
Till we sing our summer song
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
