Noholme (also known as Noholme II)〔(NOHOLME II (AUS) ) Retrieved on 5 June 2009〕 (1956-1983) was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who was the 1959 Australian Horse of the Year () and who took nearly a full second off the race record in winning the prestigious Cox Plate. In 1959 he was Australian Horse of the Year. He was sired by Star Kingdom (IRE), the Leading sire in Australia on five occasions and sire of Sky High etc. Noholme's dam, Oceana, was a daughter of the brilliant miler Colombo (won 2,000 Guineas Stakes) from the good mare Orama by Diophon (also won the 2,000 Guineas). Noholme was a full brother to the stallions, Todman, Faringdon and Shifnal. These four stallions sired progeny that had earned over $12 million in stakes-money to the end of 1979.〔de Bourg, Ross, "The Australian and New Zealand Thoroughbred", Nelson, West Melbourne, 1980, ISBN 0-17-005860-3〕 ==Racing record== The small, 15 hands 2 inches, chestnut colt was trained by Maurice McCarten in Sydney, Australia.

In July 1960 he was purchased by an American horseman Gene Goff who exported him to the United States where he was trained by A.W. Beuzeville and raced as Noholme II until being retired to stud.〔 Noholme was part of a shipload of forty-one Thoroughbreds bought by Goff in Australia where he spent considerable time as a result of his investment in oil exporation in the Maryborough Basin of coastal Queensland. Noholme II had several race starts in the US but did not win, although he placed in the Orange Bowl, Chicago, Stars and Stripes, and Bougainvillea Turf Handicaps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noholme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
