I remember been there in December 2012 the penultimate meeting a 7 runner maiden hurdle one of jonjos making his debut with Richie mclernon on board 6/1 out to 20/1 not only did he win that day he went on to win the stayers hurdle

By:
Yup was Kris. Debut was @ leicester think he won a couple more as 2 yr old including Horris Hill. Bolted up in Greenham but got nabbed by Tap On Wood in Gns ridden by some yank "newcomer" called Cauthen.

Geoff one of my all time favourites kris I actually went to see him at the plantation stud when he was around 20 years old he still looked the part .
|
|
By:
He injured himself at Folkestone and didn’t race again until york in October.

By:

|
|
By:
Tap on wood beat dickens hill as a 2 yo to win the national stakes at the curragh,the horse he beat at thirsk went on to finish 2nd in the 1000 then run on a Thursday two days before tap on wood with the greatest of all flat jockeys on board was allowed to go of 20/1 in the 2000
|
|
By:
Can’t be sure ged or onlooker might confirm but I think tap on wood ran at Salisbury the day stevie road marquee universal
|
|
By:
Tap On Wood by Pall Mall who also won Thirsk Classic Trial on his way to his Guineas win.
|
|
By:
cant match the dates up but seem to remember that marquee universdal day starting very early /lunchtime,FA cup maybe but that would be may,and wasnt it pouring down at salisbury horses came standside,memory probably playing tricks again
|
|
By:
Yes 1st time poster it was shocking ground they came up the stands rail the bbc covered the meeting can’t recall the start time ,but cup final day was generally bangor and thirsk in the morning.
|
|
By:
BEVERLEY ?
|
|
By:
Not sure really 1st time poster I should think a few did race cup final morning bangor seemed to do it every year,
Regarding Salisbury racing cup final day in 1979 it wouldn’t be that as I watched Salisbury on the tv and would have been at Wembley for United and arsenal  |

Correct - jimnast - re: Tap On Wood running at Salisbury on the same day as Marquee Universal.
Marquee Universal Won the first race on the card - and Tap On Wood was 4th in the 4th race on the card - The Salisbury 2000 Gns Trial - Won by Lake City from Saher. -------------- Isn't it wonderful how these Threads can grow - and become somewhat self-fulfilling. It started with Kris - and the Greenham got mentioned - and the we moved on to Tap On Wood ... and then, Marquee Universal, and Steve Cauthen, were highlighted by jimnast - with reference to Tap On Wood at Salisbury. Let me take you back to Kris .... because Marquee Universal - was actually 3rd to Kris in that Greenham (after his Salisbury win) .... and, can you believe - Marquee Universal then Won it's next 3 races - ALL Handicaps ... The Esher Cup - The Thirsk Hunt Cup - and The Ripon Bell-Ringer (in which, he amazingly went of 7/2 second fav - in a field of 6) - Tesoro Mio having gone Off Evens FAV - carrying an 8lb Penalty for winning the Magnet Cup, from Major Hern's Town And Country. Great Days, indeed. |

By:
Brilliant post onlooker I had no idea marquee went that route I was aware he was behind kris at Newbury but the handicap route no.
|
|
By:
The Salisbury Meeting - was on April 7th, 1979 - The first race (Marquee Universal) was 1:30pm.
I have a feeling that the BBC were not scheduled to show the race - until it became known that - 'The Kentucky Kid' - would be having his first ride in the UK in the race. |
|
By:
cheers
|
|
By:
Just like it used to be on here
|
|
By:
Yes well done Windsor for starting although I haven’t got a clue what your talking about
|
|
By:
Think Lake City was Ryan Price trained & owned by Harry Demetriou. Saher possibly Ron Sheather???
|
|
By:
Can anyone tell me which horse Cardinal posted at 623 post please
|
|
By:
Kalanisi : Jimnast debut for Cumani.
|
|
By:
Thanks Geoff he ended up lowering the colures of montjue in the champion stakes
|
|
By:
Regarding lake city it was Ryan price who trained him don’t know who owned him,in my garden shed I have lots of memorabilia hung up including the board markers wall sheet from the 1979 derby lake city is priced up at 50/1
|
|
By:
I dont recall Lake City, sure there was a Salt lake City seem to remember run at Royal Ascot as a 2yo, dark and light blue hoops, anyone?
|
|
By:
geof m - Yes and Yes .... like you from memory, though.
Although - I will have a Tenner on it.  -------- Kalanisi - Queen Anne - Champion Stakes - and Breeders Cup - in 2000 Became a better National Hunt sire - than Flat sire Sire of Katchit (Champion Hurdle)- and Kalashnikov |
|
By:
Lake City won the Coventry Stakes as a 2 year old. Price also won it following year with Varingo i think.
