1980 - 1988 horse racing archive sites ?

There are none

Just some Lists of Classic Races and Big-Race Winners on various sites - But nothing detailing the vast majority of races.

Anything in particular you are searching for - that some of us could provide from Form Books/publications at that time.

The best video for me is Horage winning the St James Palace Stakes at a gorgeous 18/1  ohhhooohhhaah.

Onlooker..if you ever find the time could you check on this horse for me from the first time i ever went to the races in 1978

Horse called Tremellick ( think it was trained by Maurice Camacho - i know it later went on to be the dam of Avro Anson which was a Camacho trained horse ).....was beaten at Ripon by a horse called Superb Lady which i remember as being trained by Ken Ivory and ridden by Kevin Leason in a two year old race ....i think it was Tremellicks debut and it made up a tremendous amount of ground to force a photo with Superb lady which i think was the favourite...i'm looking for starting prices and any in running comments .....and also another race where it went on to win a three year old handicap at the following years Lincoln meeting which was won by Fair Season....thinking it was 25-1 SP



I know there's no form on the Racing Post site but they have both Tremellick and Superb Lady as being foaled in 1970 which would mean i'm wrong altogether...

* Thanks

Hi grayhawk

You are CORRECT re: the years - The Form Book only show TREMELLICK racing as a 2-yr-old in 1978 and the following year.

She did make her debut at Ripon - and was beaten a length by Superb Lady - Trained as you say by Ken Ivory - But ridden by Michael Wigham, at 14/1

TREMELLICK - was beaten a length, at 20/1

'wormanlike, scope, always prominent, ran on final furlong, not reach winner'

WON her next 2 races - the latter  at Ripon

Owner - B Skirton - Bred by T G 'Terry' Warner  - and Trained, as you say, by Maurice Camacho at Tadcaster
--------------

As a 3-yr-old - she was again beaten by Superb Lady at Ripon - 3rd beaten a length and 3 lengths, 15 ran

- having WON the race before Fair Season's Lincoln - the Batthyany Handicap - at Doncaster.

She was ridden mostly by Apprentice Gary? Gosney - But was ridden by Ernie Johnson at Doncaster - carrying 7st 12lb

'sweating, close up, led 1 furlong out, ran on well'

Won by 2 and a half lengths from - Go Total - 15 ran - and 25/1, as you remember.

--------------

Now I am going back to trying to sort out my loft - an enormous task - that would never have got done, but for there being no racing.

I will probably find several more Racing Calendars from the 1800s 

Thanks very much Onlooker brilliant work......

How the memory plays tricks ....could have sworn it made up around six lengths in final furlong to force a photo...and also Ridden by Leason - must have been swayed by him usually riding for Ivory

First time at the races...an entry into another world
