Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby! Kaiser chiefs, for just about any and every big race that Ted's son cares to enter, they use it on C4, ATR, RUK, and the BBC in equal and copious measures,just imagine how happy those programme editors were when they first heard this tune. PERFICK.

Very good - I seem to remember Anglia TV used Steve Winwood's album in a documentary about Robert Sangster's thoroughbred operation, early 80's I would guess.

Stewball. Popular folk song made qite famous by Peter Paul and Mary in the early 60s. The horse MIGHT have existed,sources seem to vary.
" I bet on the grey horse,I bet on the bay
If I'd bet on old Stewball I'd be a free man today "
Incidentally lennon pinched the tune for the verse of " Happy Christmas War is Over "
