Menorah
Wins a supreme novices hurdle beating the likes of Dunguib, get me out of here and Oscar Whisky.
In his first season out of novice company he carries top weight and wins the greatwood and Bula hurdles. Runs respectably in the champion hurdle.
Placed in an Arkle and then wins a grade one chase over 2m4f at Aintree.
Collects a Peterborough chase a big race at Sandown then a Charlie hall over 3m.
In 5 years he's shown great versatility winning from 2m-3m over hurdles and fences yet never seems to get the praise his record deserves.

MR ED
Mister Ed is an American television situation comedy produced by Filmways that first aired in syndication from January 5 to July 2, 1961, and then on CBS from October 1, 1961, to February 6, 1966. The show's title character is a talking horse, originally appearing in short stories by Walter R. Brooks. Mister Ed is one of the few series to debut in syndication and be picked up by a major network for prime time. - Not even a BAFTA. The show in effect had two leads operating as a comedy team. The title role of Mister Ed, a talking palomino, was played by gelding Bamboo Harvester and voiced by former Western film actor Allan Lane. The role of Ed's owner, a genial but somewhat klutzy architect named Wilbur Post, was played by Alan Young. Many of the program's gags follow from Mister Ed's tendency to talk only to Wilbur, his skills as a troublemaker, and his precociously human-like behavior that far exceeds anything those around Wilbur expect of a horse. Another running gag centers on Wilbur being accident prone and inadvertently causing harm to himself and others. According to the show's producer, Arthur Lubin, Young was chosen for the lead role because he "just seemed like the sort of guy a horse would talk to" - AGAIN, You kidding me - No BAFTA...not a sniff |

Sire De Grugy, brushed everyone aside last season yet everyone thinks it was just because Sprinter was sidelined, Hope he proves he is a good horse in his own right after Christmas.

This thread has been up for 2 days now and not one of the first 8 comments included the name "Jezki". I'm in disbelief, the forumites are missing a golden opportunity here.

Seeing the Donald McCain feature on the morning line this morning made me think of Overturn for this thread.
Celestial Halo and Punjabi are two others that spring to mind. |
