The joint highest priced winner in the history of British racing. Only two other horses have won at 300/1.
Proper 70/80s type chaser , ground looks brutal , only backed 2 horses today , Isaac Des Obeuax who’ll love it and Storming Nelson ditto and has course form , doubled up , hopefully buy a present or 2
“The joint highest priced winner in the history of British racing. Only two other horses have won at 300/1.”
The highest, the previous highest was Equinoctial 250/1 at Kelso. Those other two Tom Bull mentioned were in Ireland.
Looked a bit like Robin Wonder’s colours, although it was a different owner. Cattermole called it Blofeld during the race.
I thought the colours looked familiar as well. Phillip Hobbs used to have a chaser named Dr Leunt which carried similar colours.
Yeats,
The officials colours for Anthony Hunt, owner of Robin Wonder, were yellow, dark blue stripe and sleeves.
Info courtesy of the rather odd fact that a) I still have my 1984 Sporting Life diary and b) that diary includes a full list of every owner then registered with the Jockey Club and includes their colours.
So it does look as if those colours have been passed on.
The Post’s report – and putting big priced winners into some perspective:
I was on my way to riding out on the M5
The gallops could well have been waterlogged but choosing this ‘all weather’ alternative does seem rather unwise
