First Skewbald Pacer to ever win "Horse of the Year"
see movies of Rorschach racing
With 10 wins and 21 placings to his credit in a short, but illustrious career,
this powerfully built, top staying son of Preux Chevalier, has achieved more
than any other Skewbald in harness racing history to date.
Rorschach has created numerous world records for Skewbalds including:
- World's Fastest Skewbald (1:58:6)
- First Skewbald to win 'Horse of the Year'
- First Skewbald to break 2:00 under race conditions and win
And the crowd chanted “Rorschach, Rorschach!”
This immensely popular skewbald Standardbred was responsible for bringing the skewbald Standardbreds into the limelight with his consistently tough wins at Queensland racetracks during the late 1990’s. He also earned a Horse of the Year Award, and no one could have been more pleased than his breeder, trainer and driver Wayne Waltisbuhl.
Rorschach time trialled to become the fastest skewbald Standardbred in the world at that time, after accumulating ten wins in a season. A stable favourite for his impeccable manners, Rorschach was also shown with success by Wayne’s wife Catrina, winning several Supreme Exhibits, a testimony to his lovely conformation.
Rorschach stood for one season in Australia before catching the eye of a British breeder, Watson Harrop, and was soon exported to the UK where he is enjoying enormous popularity as a quality producer of skewbald race stock. We extend best wishes and continued success to Watson Harrop who stands Rorschach in the UK today
