I'll put up a tough Flat & Jumps quiz from the 80's decade for anyone interested around 6pm.
I have a suspicion that the aficionados hover around these parts in preference to the main HR forum.

I wasn't sure about Acarine though he carried the Harris colours...I can't remember if he was training in those days but I'll gladly take your word for it.

Observer Corps...was that 40/1 or 66/1?
Repeat The Dose won that race too and was about 40's in the morning! Can't remember the trainer though  |
|
By:
Liam - it's really stretching the memory banks now but I think Torwar was a beaten favourite in the race.
