A Kinsman

I’m sure there was a horse called Gin Time in the Carlisle bumper today in the colours of the great A Kinsman winner of the Stayers and Sun Alliance chase. I was at school 30 miles from where he was trained by a permit holder called John Brockbank at the time.

The owner is listed as JB Racing. Wonder if that name has anything to do with the Brockbank family?

I was at the Cumberland Farmers point to point when A Kinsman won the second division of the Maiden. The first division had been won by Earls Brig who went on to be placed in the King George and the Gold Cup!

Couple grand horses from the past there

Wow what a privilege to see that. I think Earl’s Brig and Peaty Sandy used to have some battles if memory serves me well. I was at Kelso when I saw I big bay horse in a bumper who I thought would make a nice chaser. His name was Jodami and of course he bolted up!

That Kelso bumper also had Mudahim in third, a future Cleeve Hurdle, Racing Post Chase and Irish National winner.
