Should be a bit more proactive.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31878639/last-horse-to-win-both-ascot-gold-cup-and-ebor?post_id=564838223#564838223There you are.

In 1956, it was worth £2,835, but in 1957 it was £10,214, and similar in 1958. In 1957, the top 2 in the weights were Hornbeam and French Beige, who'd been 2nd and 3rd in the previous year's St Legerhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31878639/last-horse-to-win-both-ascot-gold-cup-and-ebor?post_id=564838173#564838173The Ebor took a big jump in prize money in 1957.

I know Ballymoss was 4 but I think they have taken interest from the build-up /race by banning 3-y-o's. They latterly rarely got in but nice to have the option.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31878639/last-horse-to-win-both-ascot-gold-cup-and-ebor?post_id=564837965#564837965King George winner running in the Ebor would have been rather unusual I would guess !

His wind went as a 3yo, and he ended up running over 6f.
