I've never been that keen on the name Kauto Star purely because of the pronounciation of his name as in Core_toe or Kaytoe.Clive Smith(owner) said it should be pronounced Core_toe.I mean what a carry on .

BBBBBBaby you aint seeeeen nuthin YYYYYYYYet.WTF is wrong with this site?[:p][:p][:p][:p]
Trained by Tinkler glentoby? Got beat at 1/10 one day I think.
Cheers for that Anaglogs, I did the forecast Mrs.P to beat the winner. Funny what sticks in the old brainbox, that must have been about 30 years ago. I can't remember what I had for dinner last Thursday but remember that race
Heres a nice story about Colin Tinkler..Or Geega
HE IS a legend from Aintree to Ascot, famous for his fearless gambling and head of a horse racing dynasty.
So there's no doubt that the sport of kings is his main passion, but houses come very close second for Colin Tinkler.
"I've always loved houses and I adore renovating. If I go to someone's home I sit there thinking how I'd redesign it," says Mr Tinkler, 83, a former trainer.
He has "Tinklerised" quite a few properties including his beloved cottage in Huttons Ambo, near Malton.
He bought it 11 years ago after downsizing from his stud farm at Wombleton.
He is now selling it for £285,000 and it represents a very good bet for any buyer given that it cost him £85,0000 and he's spent well over £200,000 on it, including £40,000 on the garden.
"I tore it apart. I've done everything from a new roof to moving the staircase to importing conifers from Italy.
"I've also spent money quite unnecessarily because I am a bit of a perfectionist. I felt the ceiling downstairs was slightly high so I spent a fortune having it lowered just one inch and a leaf daren't fall off a tree in the garden. I like it to be immaculate," says Mr Tinkler, who, when he lived at a hotel for a year between houses, had his room re-carpeted and brought in a joiner to saw down the legs on a couple of the dining tables because they were too high for his 5ft
frame.
His characterful period property is certainly on top form and boasts a living room, fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and a large bedroom with balcony and bathroom on the first floor. Outside are beautifully landscaped gardens.
The surprisingly spacious home, which comes with potential to extend, is named Geega's Place.
"Geega is my nickname and I got it when I was 24. I'd organised a race for a pony club and there was a pony that wouldn't start.
"I shouted and shook my stick and it went off like the clappers. The rather skinny 11 year old girl riding was dumped in a pile of manure. She was so angry she shouted that I was an old Geega. She meant geezer, but the name stuck," says Mr Tinkler who is selling to move to an apartment closer to his son Nigel, a well-known trainer.
His eldest son Colin is also a trainer and horse dealer and his grandson Andrew is a top National Hunt jockey.
Mr Tinkler is famous for starting Full Circle in the 1980s. It was the first ever members' club allowing ordinary race lovers to have a share in a string of thoroughbreds.
He also had a reputation for picking winners.
A well-known personality on the country's race courses, his biggest win was £43,000 on 100/1 outsider Norton's Coin in the Cheltenham Gold cup in 1990.
His biggest loss was £11,000 on a footballing bet.
"People thought I bet heavier than I did, but I was never a feckless gambler. If I went to the races I knew which horses I was going to back and that was it. I took calculated risks and rarely backed outsiders. One exception was Norton's Coin."
His poor sight means he hasn't been to the races for years and he no longer bets.
"To be honest my nerve's gone with betting and with Andy racing I don't want to compromise him.
"Plus people tell me it's not the same. There are no characters now and no chalking up by the bookies. It's all computerised," he says.
"I have a big TV and I watch Andrew. He's a big part of my life and I would love to see him win the Grand National."
Although he has retired from the course and is downsizing Colin Tinkler isn't putting out to pasture just yet.
After writing his autobiography A Furlong To Go, he has just finished a novel and is planning a complete revamp of his new apartment: "I'm not past it quite yet and moving is just another adventure," he says

Isabelonabicycle is a fav of mine. Apparently Weatherbys insist that horse names have no more than 7 syllables, but this girl got thru their rules.
Of horses with more than 18 spaces, Jacklighte Bellevue won on his Kempton debut a few years ago

A NICE STORY about the TINKLERS? You are having a giraffe,they started the syndicate rip off,entering 2 horses in a race,tipping one,backing the other.Odds shortened on the one that was punted by their owners,the other punted by them pushed out.
SOURCE.....TOP TRAINER. FACT!!!

No way Pedro... that 10s on shot was just unlucky
I remember that race so well, didn't look like anything hookey at the time but who knows!
ham n'eggs was a silly name for a horse too
This was probably in the 70s or early 80s but Chastity Belt and Sin No More came up in a dual forecast.
Perhaps some diligent researcher could find the race, but I don't know the meeting, the year, the trainers or the jockeys! A bit difficult. 
The Johnnie Walker Ebor Handicap was won by Ovaltine, which was a bit unfortunate for the sponsors.
Pas Trop Tard trained by James Ewart

Xerophyte, those two horse ran in the same race , the Cleveland Handicap Hurdle at Catterick on 27/11/1982 (Hennessy Day).Chastity Belt was trained by R Allan, Sin No More by M Reddan. However Kersil won that race.
In Sweden there was a horse named Biggus Diccus.....

I have to check myself from being influenced by 'fast' names.
Horses with names like Jewelled Dagger, any name containing words like 'winner','fast','speed' within them - always have to forcibly remind myself that a name bears no relation to an animals ability.
What I'm sure of is that names like these get overbet, so the price will always be false. Same works in reverse for horses with 'rubbish' names

persianpunch: Oh yes, it is true. Although it was a trotter but the name slipped through the control, to manys delight......
PS - I thought the post read baldy named horses.....sorry
Thanks, Ribellaro. It just shows how faulty memory can be after a few years. I was sure that they had come first and second, and that it was a flat race too. But congratulations on finding that race and very well done.
Firstly, it was Popham Down who caused all the mayhem in Foinavon's national.
I'd like to nominate Katie's Tight Jeans, Hinari Televideo, B!tch and The Newmarket Sausage.
Some of the best named Jafeica, Kids Inheritance, The Wife's Sister, Carnt Spell.

There was a horse which raced as far as I can remember in the 70s called Auspice - a difficult one for the racecourse commentator. Possibly trained by M stoute.

My old boss had a horse running in the Grand National it actually led for a couple of fences in one of Red Rums Grand Nationals....Gay Bucaneer
for some reason i find hanger management rather annoying
It was DEFINITELY Popham Down.
Don`t think Flying Wild ever ran in THE Grand National as opposed to the Irish version.

one of my old guvnors had a share in a horse called go go gunner with peter marinellio and alan ball.
he was a mad spurs fan so that made it worse and he used to lump on this horse and it was pi55 poor and the mood he was in for days after slagging the horse off and then going on about conspiricy theorys as he was a spud.

rix woodcock named after the 2 players was a cracker only in what happenend in a mecca betting shop in east finchley in the 80s.
there was a young kid i know who was managing this pokey little shop in the days of boardmen.
anyway he was sitting in the back room when he heard the young cashier screaming so he runs out into the shop the boardman is standing on the built up platform and he has got his c0ck out and having a five knuckle shuffle over some old dear who is oblivious to him as she is writing out her bets.
there are 2 postman in the shop and one of the horses mentioned on the old extel commentry is rix woodcock and there shouting out give it some woodcock.
he then blew his beans over the old dear.
this story is 100% truthful because i know the manager and he then tells me the boardman got nicked 6 weeks later whilst working in a petrol station and some bird has pulled up and he has run out of the kiosk stark b0ll0ck naked with a stiffy on and shouting let me fill you up

In the seventies there was a sprinter called Muff Diver,according to the commentators he would regularly get his head down where it mattered.
His name got through so did Shy Talk and Sixty Nine but the powers that be refused the name Selohesra.

That's cringeworthy, mapstein. How about our own Dolly Parton? Beleive it or not she is a sprinter with speed!

Back in the early 70s there was one very close finish between Tingle Creek and Friar Tuck, and the commentator did a spoonerism in his excitement.
Best commentary I ever heard was way before pictures were available. There was this commentator work for Willy Hills who was know to like a bet and you could usually tell from the commentary what he had backed. In this race he had backed Fairy Frist. The initial parts of the commentary are a little vague, but the finish is correct.
Fairy frist takes 3 out and is opening up a 3 length lead .... ..... .... over 2 out and Fairy Frist is drawing well clear ..... ...... ..... down to the last and Fairy Frist only has to jump it to win .. AND THE BASTARD's FALLEN
