TULYAR, for one, won it in 1952, before going on to win the Derby.
It will more than probablyl have been won by subsequent derby winners on several occasions in the long history of the race, when there were far fewer trial race options available - But not in more recent times, though. The 'Blue Riband Trial' - as the race was always entitled - does not appear in Ruf's Guide's 'Past winners of Great races' listings - and that's going back to 1929 - although the other races today, The Great Metropolitan Handicap, and The City and Suburban Handicap, both do - as this was once a major meeting in it's own right - three days in fact. |
