Little Big Bear was a Cree leader born in the mid 1800s who is said to have participated in the Black Hills War of 1876. Among the many confrontations of the war was the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Often known as Custer's Last Stand it was probably the most storied victory of the Native Americans over the US Army. Our own Little Big Bear also in fl icted some heavy defeats on his rivals, most notably when landing the season’s fi rst Group 1 for juveniles by a margin of 7 lengths. This earned him a Timeform rating of 126p which is virtually unheard of for that point in the season. Ultimately named European Champion Two-Year-Old he had speed, power and precocity in abundance. Just what you’d expect from his proli fi c sireline.
