favourite lynda ramsden/reg akehurst horse.

I think Reg Akehurst trained Global Lady in the late 80's.  She was a bit of a Lingfield specialist.

Remember when Akehurst had a run of scooping the big handicap hurdle virtually every Saturday - usually ridden by Dale McKeown!

I liked one of Ramsden's that used to win three or four at the beginning of the season on soft ground at Hamilton (it was low grade hadicapper - obviously). Fecked if I can remember the name of the horse now though.

One of the Akehurst handicap winners was Intuition I think.

Asking about Ramsden is akin to asking who was your favourite ever con artist.Rancid crook.

Travelling Light?

Not the one I was thinking of intheknow. Short name and like I say, a low grade handicapper, often ridden by an apprentice too I think.

Tregarron, Astrac, Nuclear debate, Bishops court

Hob Green & Tregaron

Did Astrac end up having run at all UK flat courses?

Reg had a few decent novice hurdlers, some of which p1ssed up first time out, under SS-E? Coe was one, I think. Juven Light?

He also landed the Imperial Cup and Swinton Hurdle with Inlander in 1987 - both times ridden by SSE.

GG,

Are you after INLANDER (Imperial Cup, Saturday before Cheltenham), TIGERWOOD (Bic Razor H'cap Hdle, Sat after Cheltenham) and JUVEN LIGHT (L'oreal H'cap Hdle - following week, I think). Took down the feature H'cap Hdle three Satudays on the spin. Happy days.

Headmaster - please keep up to speed

Yep, I am.

Retender at Newcastle twice and Urgent Request Epsom led all the way both childhood winners for me.Simples in those days.

yes it's me that's not keeping up

The Headmaster

Cheers - I'm beginning to recall those names now you mention them! All very well punted, although sadly not all of by me! Martin Pipe went on to do similar / better things with the big Saturday handicaps but Akehurst was the original. Do you recall Intuition? I'm pretty sure he won a big one on a Saturday for Akehurst / McKeown, although it's perfectly possible that I've mixed the name up with Inlander.

intheknow

I still can't recall the name of the Ramsden horse that I liked backing. It wasn't particularly good but she used to run it half a dozen times or so in the first few weeks of the season (to catch the soft going) and the horse always won a few. It'll bug me all night now. Better if I ignore these threads!

Red Robbo - 1997 Hunt Cup ridden by Peslier.  Think he was formerly with Henry Cecil.

tulu?

mungo park???

Remember Sheila backing her husbands horse with me at Sandown. The Horse was Crimson Lover ,Reg had it running that day at Nottingham. oN at a Garden returned A Carpet if i remember. Sheila had double her normal stake,A whole Apple Core! Happy Days

I remember Richard Quinn and Alan Munro riding a few of the Akehurst winning gambles that I backed.
