    I found this picture of a former Derby winner while searching through some old photos this morning. Anyone able to identify the horse? :)

    No stable lad (groom) would have dressed in such an appalling manner in Grundy’s day nor I think in Sharastani’s, though the sartorial rot had set in by the mid-80s :)

    Presumably Salsabil, poor considering I was at Epsom when she won the Oaks.

    Like the picture Nathan. Well done. :wink:

    Sorry Joni, the Derby bit was an intentional red herring. :D

    Handsome is as handsome does, right enough. She looks narrow, pigeon-toed and not at all taking…maybe it’s just the angle
