Flirting Around
Flirting Around (5 February 1971–1993) was a Kentucky-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. A specialist sprinter, he showed some promise when winning one of his three races as a two-year-old. In the following year he established himself as one of the best sprinters in France, winning four races including the Prix du Gros Chene, Prix de Meautry. As a four-year-old in 1975 raced only twice, but was rated the best sprinter in Europe after winning the Prix de Saint-Georges on his seasonal debut and then travelling to England to record a five-length victory in the King's Stand Stakes. He was retired immediately after his biggest win and became a successful breeding stallion in South Africa.
==Background==
Flirting Around was a bay horse standing 15.3½ hands high〔http://www.julyhandicap.info/index.php?page=horse&horseid=1205〕 with no white markings bred in Kentucky by John W. Winnett Jr. He was sired by Round Table a three-time American Turf Champion who was named Horse of the Year in 1958. He became a successful and influential breeding stallion who was named Leading sire in North America in 1972.〔http://www.tbheritage.com/HistoricSires/LeadingSires/AmLeadSires.html〕 He also had an impact in Europe, where his successful progeny included Baldric, Apalachee and Artaius. Flirting Around was one of at least seven winners produced by the Kentucky-bred mare Happy Flirt, herself the winners of three minor races. Happy Flirt's dam Saracen Flirt was also the ancestor of the St Leger winner Mutafaweq.〔http://www.bloodlines.net/TB/Families/Family2s.htm〕
Before he began his racing career he was acquired by the Japanese owner-breeder Zenya Yoshida and sent into training with Robert Carver in France. He was ridden in most of his races by the French jockey Gerard Thiboeuf
