I will have a go (sorry in advanced)

My sire wouldn't be ashamed,
even though I am misnamed,
My dam was particle-larly good,
and I have shown I am no dud.

My owners know the game,
even though her husband should be ashamed.
 
Nass, I had a good go at this last night and it's got me stumped. I thought Bosra Sham might be involved, but I couldn't identify either the sire or the dam ( tried Scintillate for the latter).
Good riddle, Nass, but you need to give me another clue.
All the best, Tam.
 
Ok


On debut I was led a merry dance by some guy from the colony,
I then won with a horse on my back,
Then next time I lost to the rate at which work is performed,
Finally I was beaten by a man with a giant beard.

Holy Roman Emperor - So Roman Soldier is completely wrong as HRE was the name for the North European nation (now Germany) and not 'Rome'


My dam was particle-larly good,
and I have shown I am no dud.

Fermion is the dam and its a particle name

Owner Mrs Paul Roy - BHA chairmans wife

Bloody Hell. No wonder I didn't get it. You guys are far too intellectual for me.
 
Tam, Your Avatar is a vision of me still trying to work out these riddles.
 
Ron, I really am amazed that no-one got the Riddle-Me-Ree yesterday.
We had the same riddle in a pub quiz years ago- and all bar one team got the answer.
Easy clue....There are other far-things apart from coins.
