Graham reports-

Hi All
Saw The Warrior at Gerald's this morning. Couldn't fault his condition or his attitude.
He could go to a Trial on the 21st or have a jumpout and if all 100%, go to a race on the 29th at Canterbury.
Gerald will keep us informed

About the Name

"Khamsin" is Arabic for "fifty" and is the name given to the hot, strong, violent winds that sweep across the Sahara Desert from Libya and Egypt for about 50 days each year.

In 'Khamsin' by Clinton Scollard he says about the wind,

'It blasted the buds on the almond bough,
And shrivelled the fruit on the orange tree'
'The tiny fledgling died in the nest;
The sick babe gasped at the mother's breast.
Then a rumour rose and swelled and spread
From a tremulous whisper, faint and vague,
Till it burst in a terrible cry of dread,
The plague, the plague, the plague.
Oh the wind, Khamsin,
The scourge from the desert, blew in'

There is also a "Maserati Khamsin" Italian sports car
