Been some great ones over the years. What were your favourites?
Two for I. (No, that`s not one, I mean I have 2)
CREDIT CALL
SPARTAN MISSILE
Credit Call was brilliant. Mr Chris Collins rode him and he was trained at Bishop Auckland by the legendary Arthur Stephenson.

Could have been Grittar..

Did Venture To Cognac later race in Hunters or am I getting mixed up?
|
|
By:
I'm sure it did.

Any info on Credit Call and race record?

Arthur Stephenson, a blast from the past, unmistakable in his sheepskin..

By:
What was that other very good Hunter that Chris Collins owned? I can`t remember it`s name but would if I seen it.
|
|
By:
Arthur was a great trainer. He had so many good horses. I remember betting The Grey Bomber @ 50/1 e/w ante post for the Triumph. Unbeaten over timber. It was a sad day when he got electrocuted.

I can`t remember W A wearing a sheepskin but I`ll take your word on it. When I see a sheepskin I always get reminded of The Duke.
|
|
By:
I'm sure he wore one as well as nicholson , maybe I'm getting mixed up lol
|
|
By:
The grey Bomber was with Denys smith ... electrocuted on the gallops I think
|
|
By:
I always remember W A in trench coat and flat cap but it was a long time ago, lol.

You are 100% right koi, Denys Smith trained TGB. Chris Grant connection mixing me up. It was in a field, a Pylon came down in high winds.

By:
Venture To Cognac came straight to my mind, that horse would clear a fence like none other.

Bill Love, owned the 1982 Triumph Hurdle favourite The Grey Bomber! Trained by Denys Smith and ridden by Chris Grant, Bomber was a bold jumping grey who had such a wonderful nature but who was devastatingly electrocuted in a freak accident at home before his full potential was reached.

John Jenkins took over Art's yard in Royston, which was half a mile from me when I lived in Hertfordshire.

I think The Grey Bomber would have turned out to be something special..
|
|
By:
Yes slippy, I thought he did race in Hunters. Green and Orange colours halved I think? Owned by the Sherwoods and ridden by Oliver? Trained by Winter. I think Midnight Court later raced in Hunters too.
|

By:
who remembers Wing and a Prayer of John Jenkins's,
he started setting fastest 50s etc just before Pipe burst onto the scene ! |
|
By:
Didnt Midnight Court end up in Hunter Chases, Fred Winter certainly had some good ones
Observe was another off the top of my head |
