On the other side of the pond, Thirsk juvenile winner LEOPOLD BLOOM (c, 2, Ulysses {Ire}–Zuhoor Baynoona {Ire} {SW-Eng}, by Elnadim) is tied to his sire's name via the 1920 modernist masterpiece novel by James Joyce, whose protagonist is so called and represents an everyman on a personal odyssey, one June day in Dublin in 1904. ULYSSES (the book) is notoriously not an easy read: this did not prevent the final chapter–the sensual stream-of-consciousness monologue by Leopold's wife Molly– from becoming very popular. I therefore expect that somewhere there is a filly called MOLLY BLOOM waiting in the wings.
