Charlottown 1966 Derby, aged 14 (me, not the hoss!). Uncle Jack said it was a cert. straight
after we watched it get beat in the Lingfield Derby Trial. His biggest ever ante-post bet, I think. Last Derby winner trained at Lewes, I think. |

The first classic winner I backed was also the first & last 35/1 winner I have backed & if anyone else out there backed it it would have also been their first & last 35/1 winner.
Anyone got an idea who it was ? |

Secreto, how many days ban would the jockey get if it was today.
Last time I saw so much whip action it was an S&M video. |

If Lester was on Hawaiian Sound then Shirley Heights would never have won The Derby. Willie The Shoe cost him that race by not understanding the track.

What was wrong with Willie the Shoes ride, he set out to do it from the front...he was just caught????
I am not defending it I just wondered what you thought was wrong with it? |
