Bill Elsey had one of the luckiest group winners - why?
|
|
By:
Venture To Cognac - what a long career he had; from those initial novice hdle days when he was hailed as a future Gold Cup winner ,to his career levelling out and lasting to his Hunter Chase career in those halved orange and green Sherwood colours when he ran in Eliogarty's Foxhunters with the celebrated Tied Cottage also in the field.First had access to a video recorder on the first day of Chelt 83, think the tape works but can never be arrsed checking as I get as much as buzz from some of the other sports nowadays - just too much cack filling the wall to wall fixture list.

By:
The Lockibge too, there is a pic in Pacemaker the month after of Jellaby unseating Taylor and on the rails you can see Joe Gormley amongth the crowd.

By:
It was Don but not St James Palace
|
|
By:
Aye it was Jellaby putting it's foot in a hole when would have been 1.01 on here. Whenever there is an old racing thread I always think of that race. The scars must be very deep.

Kildimo is correct. What an horse. I put literally every penny I had in the world on it in the Sun Alliance.
