The first great chasers I saw were Galloway Braes, Halloween and Mont Tremblant running in King George's when I first went racing in 1953.

I loved the Grand National from an early age and my first two winners of the race, Mr What and Nicholas Silver, were favourites of mine along with Pas Seul and a little later the hunter Snowdra Queen.

Used to always look out for DONE UP, a steeplechaser late 1950 early 60s. Ran in a lot of the big races on a Saturday back then not sure if he won many though.
I can't remember who rode or trained him. Would love to know if anyone here has any info. In later years I named a greyhound after him. Alas, poor old dog did not turn out to be much. |

By:
Koi, I was big fan of Floyd as well. Seem to remember backing him winning the County at one Festival, although I mainly think of him as a 3 miler. I'm sure he had a bad fall at Kempton or Sandown and took a long time to get up to thunderous cheering (although might be mixed up with French Goblin).

DONE UP was trained by Ryan Price, and usually ridden by Fred Winter. His big day was winning the Whitbread Gold Cup in 1959, beating Mandarin a short head. The top 4 in the weights were Saffron Tartan 12-0, Mandarin 11-11, Taxidermist 11-8 andd Kerstin 11-8 (3 of those won a Cheltenham Gold Cup); Done Up was 6th in the weights on 10-13. Saffron Tartan jumped them silly for 3 miles+, then faded. Done Up got behind early, then passed them one by one and battled with Mandarin from the last. He'd been brought down at Bechers in the Grand National, and had then run in the Scottish National at Bogside just a week before the Whitbread, on hard ground, with 11-11. Harry Sprague, who was a hurdles jockey, came out of retirement to ride him at Sandown as Fred Winter was injured. Harry had lost some fitness, and threw up afterwards, ejecting his false teeth in the process.

Done Up raced as a 2yo for A Kerr, and then as a juvenile hurdler for Ryan Price. He ran in handicap hurdles as a 4- and 5yo, but was then off injured for 2 years, before reappearing as a novice chaser as an 8yo (he was 9 when he won the Whitbread). He wouldn't have been the only horse Price brought back from a long term injury, but apparently his owner, Mr J U Baillie, had a lot to do with it, nursing him and walking him when he was broken down.

By:
Derring Rose , Heighlin, Paddyboro, Royal Judgement. Vodkatini.
i must have backed them every time they ran |
|
By:
Remember Derring Rose very well , won at Ascot one day under John Francome and ran in snatches as always , the ride that day would be a contender for ride of the millennium.
Royal Judgement memory was runner up in the Welsh National trying to give Burrough Hill Lad around 19lb , an impossible task if ever there was one. Vodkatini was unruly at the start unless i'm confusing with another horse , often whipped around and refused to race but very talented when consenting to race. Great thread and good decision to resurrect  |
|
By:
Vodkatini only refused twice,trainer usually stood behind him with a Long Tom and got him going.
