By:
Liam - I was a big fan of Chalon and she would have won the Guineas if she'd have run in it!
Probably a bit better than On The House when she was on song but OTH was no slouch either. PS - that horse that dragged Piggott under the stalls...here's a clue - there was a forumite of this name a while ago that apparently got on everyone's tits! I was often WRONGLY accused of being one of his alter-egos!  |
|
By:
Yes Liam!
Did it ring a bell? Remember Fairy Footsteps with Pig's bandaged ear aboard? |

|
By:
Nijinsky??

|
By:
 |
|
By:
If it was Ardross I can't remember that being used as an excuse...I remember Charles St.George looking ecstatic thinking he'd won, until he saw Piggott's miserable boat!

It was at Ascot, my apologies ! Petite Etoile was the horse in the 1960 King george and ne actually said 'the grass was cut the wrong way'
A true legend |
|
By:
Liam - reading back, i can't help you with Eddery's Bessborough winner, but if you were there that day (which I wasn't) that was a great line up for the Coronation Stakes.
Hardly surprising it was elevated to Group One a few years later. |
|
By:
I'l have to dig the racecard out the loft Hugh.
|
|
By:
I thought you might have been there to remember such detail - hope you backed them!

By:
Which high-class horse was transferred to Henry Cecil from Vincent O'Brien in the 80's?
AND...who owned it! Can't remember seeing those colours too often. |
|
By:
PS - CHW had a Group One winner in the 90's and a name as bad as that should stick in everyone's memory!
|
|
By:
was it the American winner of Ir2000g?
|
|
By:
Fourstars Allstar
|
|
By:
yeh that one?
|
|
By:
Fourstars Allstar won the Irish 2000 but not in 2000 - that year Giants Causeway was beaten by Bachir - I think FA was a little earlier.
|
|
By:
Sorry Penzance...I thought you were asking a question!
Are you still on about the Wacker horse? It was trained by Henry |
|
By:
won it in the 90's H.
