Anyone remember The Vintner?

Ran in quite a few grand nationals Stewart’s

I remember it winning at Haydock in a 3m 4f race. The St Helens Handicap  Chase? Midweek. Dad was with me and was sceptical for 7 1/2+ minutes. Got up on that long, long run in they had in those days. Still remember him chuckling as we left the stands. I loved those horses. Just So of course. And another one who won at Haydock over 3m 4f at least was Parsons Boy.

Good evening Donegal

Haydock midweek meetings then were very good some of the very best national hunt horses would often run.

ran 67 times in his career

Was trained by Naughton at Richmond  and Denys Smith at Bishop Auckland I seem to remember.

Trained bu Mick Naunton  owned by a big Greek gambler who lived in Hartlepool  made his money  in a cake factory.
Sad to say the shop is full of bloody lunatics
Supper will taste nice.

jimnast right about the days when haydock had the edward hamner on a weekday . i remember  chesterfields to sit on in the bar and a roaring fire . moved the decent furniture upstairs , put out the fire and i dont visit the course any more . wish they could move kelso a bit closer !

Yes those chesterfields Windsor I remember them well along with the fire,huge midweek crowds great horses great atmosphere,

Everyone who’s been to Kelso can’t fail to be impressed.

Chris Liveras was the owner  well worth looking  the family up.

Thanks for replys guys, seem to recall backing it at Warwick one day in a bog, was well behind as leaders swung into straight but gradually they all started to falter and he kept plodding on and thought was going to get up but only managed to get up to 2nd, think had a few quid at 20/1 gutted.

I would guess that was the brook bond national Stewart’s

Must have ran in it twice
