    No. 8 is Dagobertin

    No. 9 could be Salisbury – the central building in that picture looks exactly like the current Tatts stand except that it now has a roof.

    Outstanding stuff apracing, both correct.

    The Dagobertin fall at Worcester is etched into my racing memory. Right up there with Barton Bank. I can clearly remember the horse having to just make it over the last to be the distant winer, then the loud gasp from around me in the stand with the horse making an utter balls of it.

    ive learnt always go for the worst name not what you think is best as everyone goes for the cool clever names which effect the odds greatly , or at least newbies do. ;-)

    Viltash,

    I was at Worcester that day as well and remember that race as a comedy of errors. The only real danger to Dagobertin fell at the first, then after Dagobertin came down at the last, the horse he left clear also managed to unseat. The two of them then hampered the one that had been in third, leaving Wicket, who’d been a remote 4th jumping two out, to win.

    I watched down by the last fence and recall the jockey on Wicket laughing at the other three as he sailed past them. Having backed the first fence faller, I didn’t find it funny!

    Avoid the cool names eh. I reckon you could be on to something there Phil.
