Great races. Giants Causeway and Medicean won very tight contests from some very good opponents. Stamina certainly needed to win it.

Great pics and what a crowd.
Only 19 then, so very impressed with it all. Think it won the Guineas first time out on 3-legs beating Taj Dewan. |

The 1968 Eclipse Stakes was one of the most exciting races I ever saw in my boyhood. A rare example of that year's Derby winner (Sir Ivor) racing against the previous year's Derby winner (Royal Palace).
