Talk:Black Jester

Argentina
The 1926 Britannica mentions that Black Jester was exported to Argentina. Unfortunately, the info doesn't appear in the relevant "snippet" and I can't find any other refs. Certainly a lot of British stallions went to South America in this period, but I wonder if the EB writer was confusing him with Joel's other St Leger winner Your Majesty (article in progress) who definitely went to Argentina.

 * The text from Britannica is "Princess Dorrie was a daughter of the St. Leger winner Black Jester (who went to the Argentine)" Froggerlaura  ribbit 13:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * A DRF article from 1924 suggests that he was standing in Australia or New Zealand at that time . Froggerlaura  ribbit 12:59, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I think that the article is about his brother Absurd, although the way Black Jester is mentioned isn't terribly clear.  Tigerboy1966   21:18, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks also for the picture. I also used the double portrait of Humorist and Jest for the Jest article. Very poignant when you realise that both of them would be dead within three years. I've finished Your Majesty now, so if you could find one for that article as well...  Tigerboy1966   21:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I found one for Your Majesty (by way of Lima!) after some obscure searching, apparently not extensively photographed. While perusing the GSB, I noticed that they reported Black Jester's death without listing another country. They typically didn't report if the horse was no longer in the UK, so he must have been brought back (or never left) before he died. Froggerlaura  ribbit 01:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
