1972 MATA HARI Countess Batthyany blue orange slvs checked cap

Isinglass,

I have always understood Battyany’s French sillks to be as yoou state but with a black cap. The check cap was carried in England by the likes of Pia.

I have a jpeg of the 1972 Arc racecard and San Sans colours are "bleue, m orange, t noire"

Cheers

[slewman]

Isinglass, you are a legend. Ivanjica, you are correct. many British racecards I have from the 70’s depicts Countess Bathyany with a check cap (Roberto’s Derby win in 73), but officially on France Galop her colours were Blue, Orange sleeves, Black cap. These colours were also registered with Prince Gustav Batthyany in the late 1800’s who won an Epsom Derby. Isinglass, Prince Aly Khan’s silks were Green, Red Sash, Green Cap. With thanks
Digressing. I found this website a while ago but it gave me a great insight into racing from a bygone era.

I found this race on my files, the Washington DC International. It was one of the best races in the world, but when the Breeders Cup started it basically went down hill and was cancelled in the 1990’s. It was cancelled after 1994.

[isinglass]

Thanks for the updates – appreciated.

I think you’ve thrown the de Rivaud colours at me previously – the only reason I didn’t take it off my "to find" list was because it looks like there may have been three de Rivaud brothers – may have shared silks which would be handy !

Re Prince Aly Khan , I’ve seen the green , red sash before – probably on the initial French postings you made Slewman. What may be confusing me is when Petite Etoile won the 1959 Oaks I think the owner was given as Prince Aly & Lester wore the chocolate & green hoops. Another variation between countries do you reckon ?

[slewman]

I’m not sure if I have mentioned this in a previous posting but in Britain and Ireland back in ‘the old days’ only one owner was mentioned in the race card. In Petite Etoile’s case she was officially owned by H.H. The Aga Khan and Prince Aly Khan (father and son) but the race card stated she was owned by Prince Aly Khan but raced in his father’s silks (Green and chocolate hoops).

[ivanjica]

Isinglass, sorry I may have put you away.

You are right, there were multiple de Rivauds.

The owner of Motrico (Vte Max de Rivaud) did have the jacket as stated but his cap was white.

However these silks appear to have been registered in 1940.

In 1930 his silks were Blanche, pois et m. bleus, t. blanche – so white, blue spots and sleeves and cap.

However my Longchamp magazine from 1991 does depict Motrico’s jockey in a caricature for 1932 in the Wite/Red version with a white cap.

I wonder if the blue ones were his "second colours"?

[isinglass]

Hi folks , thanks for the info – have just seen a picture of an old painting of 1933 Prix Reiset on google – white red spots slvs & cap – haven’t found that it was a Rivaud horse so maybe forced to be blue and white until a later date (were they waiting for someone to die maybe ? nice thought ! )

Slewman – 1956 Washington International Master Boing Andre Lombard orange white x belts ( french colours anyway ) got them when finding him for 1946 French 2000 Pactole.

also one that was missing earlier – 1963 French 1000 Altissima Mme N Tuan red white cross of lorraine & slve red cap.

will post French 2000 & Royal Oak then that’s me done unless we get tempted by something else ?!?

[slewman]

Isinglass, a true labour lof love, many thanks.

Thought the other day of the dramatic deviations in silk pattern descriptions in English and US racing. I came up with these:

British: Chevron
US: Triangular panel, V sash

British: Diabolo
US: Triangular quarters

British: Checks
US: Blocks

British: Disc
US: Ball

British: Cross belts
US: Cross sashes

British: Armlets
US: Hoop on sleeves, band on sleeves

British: Hoop
US: Belt, Hoop

British: Spots
US: Dots

British: Stripe
US: Panel

[ivanjica]

The inconsistency in American silks continues to puzzle me!

I was checking out the colours of Midnight Interlude, winner of this years Santa Anita Derby.

If you look at the silks on Racing Post and Horseracingnation they are Cerise/Pink, Light Green "Z", Light Green Spots on sleeves, Quartered Cap:

http://www.racingpost.com/horses/owner_ … _id=122655

http://www.horseracingnation.com/horse/ … _Interlude

However photographic evidence shows that at Santa Anita there was no "Z" on the front of the jacket. There were light green spots, bit also turquoise cuffs, and the cap was yellow cerise and green quarters, finished off with a green pom pom!!

http://jmnandersonarchives.blogspot.com … rsons.html

http://newfinmysoup.blogspot.com/2011/0 … roses.html

Also, Slewman, am I right in thinking that for the Washington DC International the three Bunker Hunt winners wore a white cap in your list because they were trained in Europe as opposed to the Green Cap worn, for instance, by Exceller in the 1978 JCGP when he was trained in America by Charlie Wittingham?

[slewman]

The Arnold Zetcher silks for Midnight Interlude is definately dots on front and a chartreuse Z on back, also cuffs on the sleeves seem to be teal with three colours (pink, chartreuse and teal) on a quartered-type cap. Although the description of the silks in race programs are Pink, Chartreuse ‘Z’, Chartreuse dots on sleeves, Pink and Chartreuse cap. I would say a fair description of them would be PINK, CHARTREUSE DOTS ON FRONT, CHARTREUSE ‘Z’ ON BACK, CHARTREUSE DOTS ON SLEEVES, PINK, CHARTREUSE AND TEAL CAP.

Nelson Bunker Hunt’s three winners were all trained in France by Maurice Zilber and have three of the racecards (Youth, Nobiliary and Dahlia carrying a white cap).

Cheers

[ivanjica]

Thanks Slew,

I love the idea someone is able to include the colour of a Liqueur in their silks in the States!

Going back to your different terminology between US and UK colours, I noticed a card with the legendary Calumet colours on them the other day.

They refer to "blue bars" on the sleeves.

I also notice the Glen Riddle amd Harbour View Farm ones did this too. Whereas on the Allertons UK site they refer to "2 Hoops".

[slewman]
