Just checked and it was 1991!
 Really didn't think it was that long ago.I lose track of time after the 80's! |
|
By:
I may have backed this winner,Ali Royale(sussex stks)
|
|
By:
That's the one!
 Surprised it took you so long! What a poor Group One winning miler that was! The Sussex stakes FFS! Probably worse than Reel Buddy! |
|
By:
Sleepytime?
|
|
By:
distinctive colours,yellow,white black cap?
|
|
By:
I knew there was a better one!
I forgot about it though  |
|
By:
early Fallon/Cecil partnership?
|
|
By:
I remember Fallon getting Sleepytime beat in it's trial,
may have been the Fred Darling. |
|
By:
Yeah...I remember that - Fallon was under the microscope at that time and every mount was a pressure ride for him.
He had the last laugh on us didn't he? I must admit...me as well! |
|
By:
Rebecca sharp
 turned it over in the Coronation |
|
By:
Zilzal
if I'm right was'nt she backed down from 40/1,morning odds? |
|
By:
RS was one of a pair of shockers for Wragg around that time...I'm sure you know the other one.
|
|
By:
Wragg/Roberts?
|
|
By:
Ela Romara
Sally Rous Percys Lass? |
|
By:
shockers as in big winners H?
|
|
By:
Same Oppenheimer colours but 2/3 years later.
Another big shock and seemingly had little hope but defied the odds. |
|
By:
Nicolotte?
|
|
By:
I backed three horses that day and it could have changed my life if id done a treble
A Shadeed Filly who won the queen mary at around 14-1, Rebecca Sharp at 33s and the supposed second Akehurst string in the Hunt Cup at 33s called Red Robbo, they all won a poxy £5 treble came to 75k  |
|
By:
Won the same race as Rebecca Sharp (Coronation)
|
|
By:
Balisada/Roberts?
|
|
By:
None of those Penzance.
Zilzal - OUCH! That's why I always used to do £1 E/W Lucky 15's at the Ascot & Cheltenham Festivals! I'd back two outsiders in each race and just hoped for the best they'd be in the right bets! Alas...they never were  |
|
By:
Balisada correct Sir!
|
|
By:
Zilzal - I won't bother trying to compete with my tales of woe as they're so unbelievable!
Also, they still are painful, years later, and recalling them re-awakens the grief like ripping a scab off a sore! |
|
By:
Wragg,Probably my fav trainer in his day.
|
|
By:
An excellent trainer and one that could be relied on to be straight.
Always seemed to campaign them the right way. |
|
By:
They are around about every 10 years when i dont bother having a multiple and the last one was in 08(last leg Iris De Balme!!)
I did win the tote jackpot around 97 and thats the only claim to fame |
|
By:
why the
 |
|
By:
HTF did you pick Iris?
Didn't have a cat in hell's chance! That's coming from me, the rank outsider punter and eternal optimist when it comes to the word 'if'  |
|
By:
it paid 11k and the day before i had 4/6 and 2 seconds and would have won it on my own....
|
|
By:
Been a good race for me, i tend to back horses whos form over long distance chases seem much better than 3-31/4 mile form
Ive backed Merigo for the last 2 years and will do again, he'll be tailed off again this weekend |
|
By:
H
remember a Wragg horse who was a bit of a Derby gamble,Gulland-1998? |
|
By:
Strange that Zilzal...I had a real good run in finding Scottish National winners with Four Trix, Killone Abbey, Run For Free and Earth Summit and then Joe's Edge a few years ago.
One of my favourite races for obvious reasons |
|
By:
night,fellas
GL. |
|
By:
Red Glow was a bitterly disappointing favourite, and far superior to Gulland - didn't he win the Chester Vase before becoming useless?
|
|
By:
Goodnight Penzance...I think I've had my fill too...my brain's hurting
|
|
By:
strange how some races certain people find easier than others
i havent backed a winner of the Arc since Tony Bin |
|
By:
thought Red Glow injured itself at Epsom??
|
|
By:
Don't know how you managed to find Tony Bin...even though he was runner-up the year before.
I think Red Glow was injured, but I meant Gulland was useless! What about that other sac of **** Dragon Dancer? Has there ever been a rodent as big as him? |
|
By:
I dont remember that much, from 02-07 i lived in Greece!!
Anyway night Harchi..... |
|
By:
Goodnight Sir!
We all seem fans of Geoff Wragg and it's hard to believe he trained Dragon Dancer...that's more like one of Clive's  A truly awful nag and just a breath away from 'immortality' as the worst Derby winner EVER! |
