Dan Cupid was owned by Gertrude Widener (wife of Peter Arrell Brown Widener II - or PAB 2 for short). She was born Gertrude Douglas, married first Frederick Peabody, divorced him and then married PAB2. The latter died in 1948, and she inherited his estate. She had homes in New York and Paris, but as Dan Cupid was trained, like Sea-Bird, by Etienne Pollet, she was down on racecards as Mme P.A.B.Widener. She died in 1971.

Have to mention the one grey horse I had a quarter share in, even if he was pretty useless. Lift High. Trained by D R Tucker, somewhere near Wellington, many, many years ago.

Hula Dancer was a grey filly by Native Dancer,who,like Dan Cupid,was owned by Mme Widener. She won the 100Gns and Champion Stakes in 1963. I remember her reasonably well and she was better than most 1000 Gns winners since imo. Unfortunately she was a major disappointment as a broodmare.

Nice one 1stTP - will always be remembered for standing in a hole with the Lockinge at his mercy. Carried the famous colours of Essa Al Khalifa, I think?

think another of my fav early horses was grey,used to run a lot up narrth before moving to Geoff lewis I think, GUNNER B, remember its battles with J CALVERT trained ,fast finisher MOVE OFF, think they ran in redcars zetland gold cup when it was considered a prestige race, memory might be playing tricks and it might not have even been a grey,anyone remember , ?
|

By:
Gunner B was a Chestnut mate. George Toft trained it up North and went to Hern. Here is the Eclipse it won and your favourite Grey Jellaby is in the race

Gunner B was a chestnut, went from George Toft to Henry Cecil, and the rest is history as they say!

By:
told ye the memory,s gone,
 |
|
By:
1sttp, Gunner B was a chestnut and his early career was spent with Geoff Toft, in later life he was transferred to Henry Cecil, won the Andy Capp H'cap at Redcar when with Toft as a 3yo was then stepped up into Pattern races where he enjoyed further success for both Toft and later Cecil

By:
cant picture George toft did he get an offer he couldn't refuse or was it taken away from him

By:
They are not Greys but here is a great finish between Busted and Great Nephew for the Eclipse. Strange coincidence is that their two sons Grundy and Bustino would fight out a similar finish in what was deemed the Race Of The Century

That'll be Hernry Cecil will it, Mac?

1st Time Poster - Re Gunner B and Toft - Henry's versions was that it was the owners decision based on the horse needing a "change of environment", having hung "ominously" when winning an Amateur's race at Newmarket. It seems that Toft was ok with the move, as he had little with which to work him. Given the races he won in 78 that was not entirely surprising.
