Whatever became of The Thoroughbred Corporation, and their green and white striped silks? Made inroads into British racing in the late 90s but I cannot recall seeing those colours in 20 or so years.

Ballymore won the Irish 2000 Guineas first time out for Meg Mullion, sadly none of her children went into owning horses.One of her grandsons owns the well known Mayfair restaurant Kitty Fisher's. Megs husband Jim made his money in Hong Kong. They owned the Ragusa stud in Ballymore Eustace named after their Irish Derby and King George winner. The stud was sold to Sheikh Mohammed

I am certainly pleased that I didn't stand a bet I put on for a friend back in the day. £20 e/w Piccolo to win the Kings Stand at Ascot (won 33/1) and a £10 e/w double with a Dandy Nicholls horse that was fourth in the Wokingham, also at 33/1!
