Which Cheltenham Festival winner of the 1980s lent his name to a subsequent Epsom Derby winner?
I think you’re thinking of the Polish bred Galileo that won the 2002 RSA hurdle. If so then I’m afraid that’s not the answer I’m looking for.
It happens to the best of us so I’ll let you off
There was a somewhat decent Roddy Armytage jumper from the 80s called Galileo who, by a remarkable coincidence, was sired by a Fantastic Light. I was worried for a moment that that particular Galileo had won a festival race that slipped my radar but fortunately, my blushes have been spared.
Actually, there could have been a question for this thread in there…
Back to you.
Cheers BH.
Which horse, if he had won The National, would have resulted in the winning owner presenting the trophy to themself?

Smart Tar
owned by the Courage family!
Paris Pike. Owned by Mr and Mrs Ivan Straker who was boss of Seagram, which owned Martell.
It wasn’t Devon Loch by any chance? Queen Mother might have been invited to present the Trophy?
Fair enough although I’m know that Ivan Straker would have been presenting the trophy to himself – or at least his wife!
Adrian, I thought about Straker when posing the question, but I’m sure Patrick Martell was doing the presentations by the time Paris Pike was running.
Wyldesyde, I thought Mrs Straker was doing the presentation during his involvement with the race……………..however if I’ve ballsed the question up apologies to all. Wouldn’t be the first time…
…..and probably won’t be the last.
Clue is Seagram though, and the horse I had in mind ran during there sponsorship.
