Hi guys, please can anyone help me with the following, if you have a good collection of the old Raceform notebooks there may be a chance. I'm looking for the date of a Windsor meeting back in the 1970's when a horse called Nosebob won what I would think was a 3 year-old maiden that ended the card, it was trained by Peter Walwyn and ridden by Pat Eddery. A big ask but I'd be very grateful if anyone has the info required, thank you

July or August 1973!!. You'll need Onlooker or someone else to give you the specific date. It did win twice at Windsor that year, once in each of the months stated.

By:
The July win would have been the maiden

By:
Nosebob won the July Stakes at Windsor, run at 8-45 on July 30th 1973, ridden by Eddery, SP 7/2.
More info about that race on request. |

It's more to do with my access to a very good database of information. Sadly it doesn't contain Liz M's inside leg measurements though or I would have already passed that on to you discreetly. |

By:
Remembering a 7/2 winner well each to their own I tend to remember larger priced horses
but I can't remember all of them. |

I think it's impressive that an obscure question can be asked and within 10 minutes half an answer has been provided and within an hour the puzzle is solved. Well done blackbarn and alun2005.

I'm curious why the OP needs to know

By:
Probably a bet in the pub

I'm sure I was there that night. Backed it to win in a right snide each-way race. Got a lift home with Darkie Edgwick, a huge old bloke who always used to stand by the rails wearing a brown suit and trilby and glasses. I tipped it to him. He said to me, "I had a whole large box of Black Magic last night. How many do you think I ate?".
I said about two-thirds. "I ate the bloody lot!". That was Darkie! |

She made her racecourse debut in the same 2yo race as Sea Pigeon, the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Ascot.
There's a b/w pic of the finish here.... http://www.alamy.de/stockfoto-meer-taube-gewinnt-duke-of-edinburgh-107035717.html She was owned by Louis Freedman, so I think she's the smallish-looking chestnut on the left with the white blaze, in the spots on light (yellow) colours. |

Tote double and Tote treble. Nostalgia!

Ged - She WAS a chestnut, quite flashy with white blaze (as you say) white nose and three white socks(Nr stockings). She won three times that season. Seems she did not race as a four year old. Off to Louis' paddocks presumably.
|
|
By:
She appears to have been sold to South American interests as she produced foals to Chilean and Colombian-based stallions.

Still on tenterhooks here wondering why a 1973 maiden win at Windsor should have been so interesting, 44 years on.
Do you think there could somehow be a connection to WATERGATE? Or Don Revie? |
|
By:
The OP will let us all know by Christmas, alun.

By:
Maybe not Sparrow if this Colombian angle is significant.
Pablo's boys don't like a lot of loose talk. |

|
By:
Nosebob won 3 races and was placed 4 times as a 3yo.
Also the dam of Colombian winner La Terremoto. |

By:
Many thanks for the fantastic responses to my question , I really appreciate all of your efforts

By:
I thought maybe you remember the race was the same day as your wedding anniversary but were worried about your missus because you'd forgotten that date too.

it was probably the last time he backed a winner ima
