Rethink needed - Checking Horses in Training ... looks like Peter Arthur finished training in 1980 - as he is not listed in Horses in Training in 1981.82, 84 Something in the back of my mind that he may have made some sort a comeback - although I would not have more than 'ten bob' on that. There is a PRINCE Abys listed as trained by him in 1980 ... But it was 14 years old. Also a Peerless Knight. Looks like Audrey was younger than you are letting on, then  |

Onlooker he did indeed make a comeback in the mid 1980's. RP shows he had a couple of winners in 1988 (earliest year they list) who won five races between them. No "princes" though.

Blackbarn,
100% not 1988 as i left UK in 84. When Onlooker mentioned Peerless, it jumped off the page hence was it Peerless Prince ? What i remember is it wasn't a big meeting. |
|
By:
Peerless Prince sounds plausible. 1977 season won four races for Mr Arthur - He bought it out of Gavin Hunters stable for 1250gns. One of the handicaps it won was at Kempton in August. "Slaughtered opposition by 12 lengths landing a gamble" says Timeform.
|
|
By:
That has to be it and August is the right time, although i didn't think it was as far back as 77.
Many thanks Blackbarn, now i can sleep with the knowledge i'm not losing it |

By:
Also thanks to Onlooker

I was just going to post that I had found a PEERLESS PRINCE - - a 4-year-old on 1978 - Trained by Paul Kellaway - Won twice in the Autumn - But never a wide-margin.
So - The horse was presumably sold to Paul Kellaway .... after Arthur had used up it's well-handicapped mark. |
|
By:
think hes some sort of haulage magnate who fancied his hand at training
|
|
By:
Onlooker - Correct as usual, but to be fair to PK, Arthur trained its first five runs at 4, all unplaced, and Kelleway did manage to get two more wins out of it later that season.

Onlooker,
Thank you for posting the result, although i'm confused with the from 14's, i felt sure it was much higher as it was one of the main reasons i backed it. I know i had over 10's and thought it was 100/8. Never mind, all in the past now, and a very long past. Delta i knew it was a mistake to mention her name. |

Must have been an unusually wet August 1977 to be yielding at Kempton.

Does anyone remember Lewes trainer John Ffitch-Heyes and his glamorous wife Penny? ... she would give the lovely Wendy (Mrs John Jenkins) a run for her money.
A colourful character who wrote a book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Warts-All-John-Ffitch-Heyes/dp/1784557447 Part of "The Lewes Mafia" ... landed some big gambles back in the day. |
