I think that dead heat was the start of the Sadler's Wells revolution.

I thought it was the all white colours, isn't Weinstock the Pilsudski colours?
Report .Fidway. August 5, 2012 8:50 PM BST
they are actually very pale blue with a yellow cap but they do look whitish
Report volontiers August 5, 2012 8:52 PM BST
nope, different colours but there is a connection of sorts,

Sir Michael Sobell owned Prince of Dance but it was bred by Ballymacoll stud which owned Pilsudski Crazy

mystery solved, they were the colours of Sun Princess and therefore the rest of above mentioned Crazy

Michael Sobell's colours were white (Troy) & Simon Weinstock's (Pilsudski) looked very similar but were light blue.

I didn't know the bloke (Simon) had died and subsequently that BOTH of the above had connections to Ballymacoll Stud.
So when were Sobell's original colours last seen on a racecourse?

1979 & 1980 winners - I was aware he had Ela Mana Mou, but I never knew Weinstock had a share in Troy Confused

I always thought they owned horses together...Weinstock and Sobell..?

Prince of Dance was a lovely animal imo, would have been exceptional over middle distances with his breeding (Sadlers Wells - Sun Princess). Just a pity he died before he had a chance to show it - I believe he was found to have cancer in his back after the Derby when he trailed in behind Nashwan. Still think he could have been a contender to his stablemate...

Sir Michael Sobell was Arnold Weinstock's father in law. Hope this helps
