In fact, he would never have been born, nor would his first four dams. In 1973 Texas tycoon and noted horseman Nelson Bunker Hunt purchased a Noholme II filly for his far- flung racing empire out of the Saratoga yearling sale for $20,000. Named Carnauba and sent to Europe, she wound up with Hunt's Italian trainer Luigi Turner. For them she won several European stakes, including the group I Oaks d'Italia. On an August night in 1975, Carnauba was kid- napped from Turner's training yard and held for ransom, which Hunt refused to pay because he felt paying the ransom would lead to more such kidnap- pings. The Italian police were called in and through clues from the ransom notes, their investigation led them to discover the perpetrators and recover Car- nauba from the holding pen of a Milanese butcher. Instead of a date to be slaughtered for 30 cents a pound, she was shipped to the States to be mated with Hunt's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Vaguely / LOU HODGES JR.
