Alleged 1977 too!! It was my first visit to Paris and the great Vincent O'Brien was on the Aer Lingus flight just one row in front of me. Can't remember in between!!

hurricane run was my best win and the roar of the crowd was incredible as he came from almost last to first. my luckiest winner was rail link . just before the off my partner asked me for 5 euros to put on it i didnt have change so i gave her 50 euros and said mind my change she just stuck the fifty on it and of course it won . i went to collect what i thought would be about 250 euros and got handed over 1200 hundred .not bad for a horse i didnt even fancy.the **** money for deep impact had pushed it out to over 20/1 happy days.

Rail Link on the PMU was nice (Thank you Japanese) Westerner would have been nice, matched at three figure prices on here, but not to be thanks to Hurricane Run

Sagace Dancing Brave Carroll House - best priced winner by far Helissio Peintre Celebre Montjeu Hurricane Run
Saddest moment - the great (not a word I use very often) Ardross just failing to get up and beat Akiyda.
