My Swallow Frankie Durr

Thing i remember most about Little Owl was that famous 3 horse race that was instrumental in doing away with the the chart f/c used on bookmakers walls , by memory it was around 1/3 Little Owl , 11/4 Venture to Cognac and 250/1 Great Dean but i stand to be corrected on the accuracy.

Little Owl was unsatisfactorily pulled up by Jim Wilson leaving the multiplication f/c on the other two , uproar ensued.

Anybody remember the great Schweppes Calendars which had some terrific pictures of some great horses, particularly 60s and 70s.

I am saving the best question for last. This will catch you all out and fully test your racing knowledge.

10pts for this one.

Q13. Name the famous racehorse

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

Harry Carr for the last jockey

Nobody got any of the jockeys? Blackbarn would know them all. Q12

Bit grubby, but I have quite a few of those calendars - used to be mix with show jumpers.

Right era DD but not Harry Carr

Not surprisingly Schweppshire Lad made the 12 one year ( 77 or 78).

You can buy some on Ebay. Individual photos were selling for 8 quid each.

I don't think this is right but I will try Scobie Breasley.

I`ll leave you all to it. Just 12 and 13 to settle the competition. Feel free to post your memories of any of the horses or others featured. I have to go now and watch my Champions League investment. Well played all!

Not Scobie DD. A clue. He featured in a famous arcade game in late 60s and 70s.

.... mind you, Scobie did too.

13 looks like a Richard Stone Reeves Pic - anyway, I'm retiring, great thread TMM.

13 Empery.

scrub that-wrong colurs,
Footy on the noo.

stewarts - Do you have prints of paintings or just framed photos? 4 great horses mate. Mandarin and Mill House. Stalbridge Colonist must be one of the most famous greys in Turf history. One of the few horses to have defeated the mighty Arkle, greatest ever chaser imo.

2 Charlie Elliot.

Not Steve Donoghue but you are getting close on the chase.

TMM, they are actually table mats which I've put into a frame, bought from ebay a few years ago for a quid!

Very good Stewarts.

Freddie Fox, only got it through the silks

You don`t see racing memorabilia like that these days. I have a lot of old stuff like that.

Just two answers to get.

Q12. The first jockey. Clue: Wily old jockey of a different era.

Q13. English Classic Winner (I knew this would catch you all out) Geoff m 1/3 fav to get it.

Here is the painting again:

[   This image is no longer available.   ]

Pelied.

Colours look like those of Windfields Farm, but it's neither Northern Dancer (white socks) nor Nearctic (nearly black) in the photo.

mac are the colours different to the win in the classic ?

ged, youve got it i think, it's windfields and it's from when it won the man o war, but here it's black sleeves and pink body, derby winner, i'll let you finish it

Hasn't dd already got 12,1, Freddie Fox?

elise - you're right, Snow Knight. I wouldn't have got that.

i only got it after you flagged the usa bit, i didn't recognise them

That Snow Knight painting is a Richard Stone Reeves and is in the Ontario Jockey Club rooms. It's reproduced in the plate sized book 'Decade of Champions' which I have and re read just a few months back but still could not put a name to the pic last night. There is a curious narrative to the Snow Knight part of the book - evidently a stable hand called Jill Gordon was the only person the horse trusted. She was convinced he'd been mistreated in the past.

Well done all participants. Great answer Elise and Ged with Snow Knight. VL gave a tremendous clue when he stated the artist of that famous painting earlier in the fred but he didn`t know the horse.

I knew the American colours would throw you all off track! Lot of people forget that Snow Knight was a great horse in America too.

From Wikpedia a summary:

Snow Knight (28 February 1971 – 15 September 1992) was a Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a three-year-old in 1974, he won Britain's most prestigious race, the Derby, then the following year earned an Eclipse Award as the American Champion Male Turf Horse.

BACKGROUND
Snow Knight was bred by J. A. Claude Lilley, a textile manufacturer and the proprietor of Quarry Stud on Duffield Bank in Makeney, Derbyshire. Lilley had owned and raced Pretendre, sire of the 1971 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, Canonero II. Snow Knight's dam was Snow Blossom,[2] a daughter of Flush Royal, winner of England's Great Yorkshire Stakes and the Prix Noailles in France. His sire was the speedy runner Firestreak who had been owned by Canadian lawyer Neil F. Phillips, whose wife Sharon purchased Snow Knight at auction as a yearling for £5,200.

EUROPE CAREER
Trained by Peter Nelson, at the age of two Snow Knight made five starts, winning two and finishing second twice. At three, in the trial races for the Derby, he finished second in the Ladbrokes Classic Trial Stakes at Sandown Park and third in the Lingfield Derby Trial.

Small injuries slowed him but he would fight back. Always a fractious colt, in the paddock at Epsom Downs Racecourse, Snow Knight threw jockey Brian Taylor and at the starting gate was still fighting his handlers. Sent off at odds of 50:1, he ran in the middle of the pack until the field made the turn at Tattenham Corner, when he sped to the lead and won by two lengths.[3]

USA CAREER
In the fall of 1974, Snow Knight was sold for a reported C$1 million to Canada's leading horseman, E. P. Taylor, and sent to Taylor's Windfields Farm in Ontario. For new trainer Jim Bentley, Snow Knight made three starts at Toronto's Woodbine Racetrack but performed poorly. For the 1975 racing season, Snow Knight was sent to race in the United States, where MacKenzie Miller was entrusted with his race conditioning. Miller, known for his patience, spent months working with the high-strung colt.[4] His diligence paid off when Snow Knight won the important Manhattan Handicap and Man o' War Stakes. Sent back to Woodbine Racetrack for the prestigious Canadian International Championship, he defeated an international field on the turf.

HONOURS & AWARDS
On 23 January 1977, Snow Knight was elected to the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame. He was voted American Champion Male Turf Horse in the Eclipse Awards for 1975.

Retired to stud duty at Windfields Farm, in 1986 Snow Knight was sent to stand in Australia and Died on 15 September 1992. Although he met with limited success as a sire, Snow Knight did sire the outstanding racemare Awaasif who won the Yorkshire Oaks and the Gran Premio del Jockey Club and finished third in the 1982 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
