Reading the sad news about Greville Starkey I was reminded about the great cup races in the lae 70s with the likes of Le Moss and Buckskin. I always used to have my 10p ew on a horse, I thought, called Shangamuzo who was somewhat a bit player in those races but occasionally popped up! I was convinced Starkey rode him for Guy Harwood but it would seem he was a Stoute horse. Anyhow the question is was it a GS mount? Or am I thinking of a different horse. Used to run in brown and yellow diamonds I think.

Think you´re right moose. Starkey rode a lot for Stoute in the 70/80s. He won the Oaks on Fair Salinia for MS.
He kept the association going after he retired,

I thought i was lol. Think I was just presuming it was a Harwood horse!
1978 - Shangamuzo owned by Mrs E Charles (check colours), trained by Stoute and ridden by Greville won Ascot Gold Cup.
Didn´t Starkey also ride a Cup stayer for Harwood later on called Saladim or something like that?
Right moose. Owned by Sheikh Mohammed. Greville rode it when he was awarded the 1988 Gold Cup following Royal Gait`s disqualification. Also won Gold Cup the following year with Willie Carson in the saddle @ 8/11.
Won on Sadeem in 1988..

Greville also won the Gold Cup in 1966 on Fighting Charlie for Lady Mairi Bury and Freddie Maxwell. Lester had rode it to win the race the previous year.
