	I am considering the purchase of a horse who's pedigree indicates the
grandsire is Bandos.  Is this the same horse ridden by Wendell Robie the
first 2 years that Tevis was held?  Bandos on this horse's pedigree is a
grey import from Poland with the AHR#0290342.


Stacy:
	Your Bandos and Mr. Robie's Bandos are not the same.

	Your Bandos was foaled in 1964 (long after Robie's Bandos since Robie was
riding him already in 1950).  Your Polish Bandos' dam, Bandola, was full
sister to Bask.  Bandos was imported to the U.S. in 1982, purchased at that
time by Ventura Farms in California for $806,000 at the age of 18.  He was
very popular in Poland the the U.S.
