mile plus races we need to make up a few races ,and who would lead :^0

Solar Sand 93-95 mostly hove.
Loved a bog over 1000m+ and even won once when stopping
at the sough and being headed.

Silver Mask & Cregagh Prince worth a mention.

Both won at 1000m +.

Went to Wimbledon one night to back Silver Mask.
Gloss would stay all day. Salina was one of the best but her mum Go Ahead Girl was real class.

marys gem trained by graham holland i think.

ravage again

There was a dog trained at Bristol in the early 90s that made Coverall seem like Ravage Again, name escapes me.
Mark Lavander 'trained' Marys Gem, pretty sure if Graham Holland trained it the dog would won Tv Trophy.

Locomotive Lady

Simply Famous was a distant second and she needed every yard.

can anyone remember a dog called Kingdome Come.in the 70/80s it used to give dogs 30 yards start in 800 plus marathon and
Always very slow away and lose many lenths at the start.

A great marathon dog winning many races.

paula radcliffe

Remember kingdom come racing at willenhall they used to have an open race handicap once a year over 740 yards.I had a dog who was top class over 565 yards he received 14 start off this ** at one stage he must have been 35 yards clear of the field he hung on i think he won by about 2 lengths he was 8-1 she was 4-7,she copped him just after the line at the trip she was about 40 lengths clear it was clearly not far enough for her,i don't think she made the final.the winner was -------- queen trained by Les brown at monmore,cant recall the **es first name perhaps someone can remember it

bubs delight a grader round rommers stayed all day

surf the moon when 16 weeks out of season

**ypants you must be an old timer , Shady Begonia!

misspent youthwith a memory.
cheers

ramdeen Stuart was pacey

Came across this by complete chance and you can see from my title why it made me chuckle. For the record It was Shropshire Lass that she failed to pick up at Romford and she gave wayzgoose a 20 meters head start and won goiing away and a distance clear at the lick up over 970 hove. Another bitch mentioned on this thread she gave  20 metres in running to and beat going away at Wimbledon was lilac wonder. She also did a negative split one night in a tv trophy heat at monmore. Dogs don’t do negative splits right. She would have stayed a mile. I have no clue if anybody on here still remembers her but reminiscing  has Brought back great memories.

Great stuff from the good old days of racing.

Nice to see a 1048 race at Crayford on Saturday morning, least they’re a little bit go ahead with variety now unlike the 40 graded sprints every week at Central Park.

Sadly about the only maxi marathon you see now.

Think Coverall was mentioned , I remember her winning a 1000meter + race on Reading Masters finals night I think , she ambled round signing autographs for the first circuit and a half before deciding to race , think she would have galloped all day and night.

Yep I remember coverall fawn bitch if I remeber right. We used to have debates about who would outstay who between her and MS. Didn’t coverall actually stop and turn round once or twice because she lost sight of the hare or is my memory playing tricks.

roxholme magic.

A pleasing thread which I somehow missed in 2009. I increasingly notice these days more and more dogs running over an inadequate 4 bends as graded 6 bend races are virtually non existent now and it seems only Crayford make some sort of effort to provide a variety of distances. A meeting of 14 2 and 4 bend races would never have been tolerated when I first started watching and how people put up with such dross is beyond me.

One of the longest distances I recall was run at Swaffham over some 1100 metres  and I wonder if anyone recalls this race.

Call girl...the night she beat star of dromin at the don is the stuff legends are made of...I beleive Morris laid a 20k/1k in the ring that night...I'm not sure if he lost on the race tho!

Micks Little has to added to the Category , I would say would deffo stay close on a mile ,see how she goes saturday

Used to love the Extreme stayers years Back they would would return to graded fair popping up in an occasional open

Was coverall not graded at the Don ?? at some stage ??

Bread Snapper who ran Derby night once

Josie burridge (Poole) had a bitch in the late 90s that would stay all night .... Spenwood Wizard.

Bread Snapper ?? Never heard of it

Think there was a Couple of Spenwoods Glas

..Not me Case, not got a good memory but still got a few old programmes.

Yes got overshadowed a bit by scurlogue, Gem and Wizard were 2 I recall.

Scurlogue a lot earlier mid 80s ..my mistake.

Gloss,one for us codgers

Buckwheat winner of the notorious Dagenham coup race in 1964.

saw a stayers race at wembley one night with gloss welsh cobbler and brookview sarah involved.3 way photo. short head short head.

butchers trac pitmans brief deadheated at Wembley over the marathon trip

Pitmans a Decent Bitch , Used to Like her brother Chain gang another dog off the Back , Aint much About will get near Gem over a distance

Case, Belle Vue bitch. Think maybe around about the time of Manx Marajax

Pretty sure she was miles behind and won the extended marathon, or narrowly beaten, one Derby night

Only a low standard grader really, but could go round time and time again

track man from hove / queens from nick savva

I remember Miltons Sophie,i was at Hove the day she picked up Wayzgoose and went away from him.
Remember the fans of Wayzgoose cheering as if the race was over,think they had never seen him headed when taking the lead.
MS would probably have kept going for at least a mile, she was quiet amazing to watch.

Rough Diamond, Catford, especially when it rained, he loved the wet.

ThirdTimeLucky, the Bristol bitch you couldn't remember was probably Cloverhill June.
Salina and Cregagh Prince had bottomless stamina , but the bitch who was queen of the maxi marathons
would have to be Movealong Margo.

There were 3 Spenwoods- Magic,Wizard, and Gem.
I thought they were all trained by Ron Hough at Sheffield.

Article on Wizard here Mike.

Movealong Margo is one I had forgot and as Rothman says "the queen of the maxi marathons" and she would have outstayed anything.
