We now have a total of 29 available, including the "Epsom Collection", "Grand National Collection" and "The Cheltenham Collection". Horses include Nijinsky, Workforce, Arkle, Red Rum, Ballabriggs, Long Run, Denman, Best Mate, Kauto Star etc etc.
    Also available are scarves, ties, hats and the very popular rugby shirts. For further details please drop me an email to info@druid-sportsandleisure.co.uk,

    Thanks for the Condover silks IDB. Again slapped wrists for me – I actually also have a copy of said Ruffs guide but obviously overlooked that fact!!!

    BTW, were you the person who posted the japanese yahoo auctions link some time back on here? http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/130703176

    As you can see the auction finished but I am unable to navigate from this page anymore to the pages and pages of racecards it showed. Any idea what the link is to the page for racecard auction lists is? They seem to have more photos on that site than ebay where more often than not the sellers post a picture of the racecards front page. Maybe the Japanese rules are tighter but certainly on European and US auctions they always seemed to have two sometimes three pictures which was of great assitance to us!

    Alos, here is the Long Look picture Isinglass was, I imagine, referring to:

    Clearly halves.

    RE-Oaks 1965 LONG LOOK James Cox Brady, Jr. white & red horizontal halves black slvs red cap .
    Cox Brady had/has a racing stable in the US and races under the banner of ‘Mill House’. His US silks are White, Red Sash, Black Sleeves and Cap.

    It was me with the jaoanese site, but apart from using google translate which translates the home page ok, it doesn’t help with searching! The only other one I have found is:
    http://www.jauce.com/index.php
    but this looks very restricted.

    Hi , another bit of information that so far hasn’t got me very far.

    1982 Irish 1000 Guineas Prince’s Polly – found out she was owned by an American , Kelly Fitzgerald. Could be male or female , don’t know and equally haven’t got the colours yet.

    Those Irish 1000 Guineas colours for princess polly will be a tough one to get unless Irish turf authority can assist.

    Runners and silks for Tuesday’s St James’ Palace Stks on the link.

    Irish authorities can help!!

    "I have a Kerry B. Fitzpatrick (American Gent) listed as the owner of Prince’s Polly and trained by D.K. Weld. His colours were Red & white check, red sleeves, red cap, white spots."

    Lovely to see the very distinctive colours once registered to Lord Glanely carried to victory in today’s Golden Jubilee Stakes. I wonder how the current owner, Mr Simon Gibson managed to secure the silks? According to Wiki Lord Glanely was tragically killed in a 1942 air raid after which his title became extinct so I am assuming Mr Gibson is not a descendant – rather a very fortunate and waelthy man to be able to call such a set of silks his own!

    In all race cards i have of Lord Glanely runners his silks were described as Black, red, white and blue belt. It wasn’t until i saw old cigarette cards it was actually a sash. I always thought a belt as described in other race cards as one hoop on the body. It’s like saying a sash is one ‘diagonal stripe’

    As for Mr Gibson taking over the silks I believe that silks that belonged to very successful owner of the past should be put in a museum and barred. In France you cannot use the Marcel Boussac silks (orange, grey cap) or the Jean Ternynk silks (Green, black cap). Those colours are not available to owners registering silks. Good idea I think. Will we ever see the old Aga Khan’s green and chocolate hoops on a racetrack again owned by a John Citizen?? Hope not.

    looks like his grandson….

    “This has been a lucky race for me as I won it twice with Bishop of Cashel (1994 and 1995), who loved soft ground and this fellow is a different horse when he can get his toe in,” said James Fanshawe after Polar Ben had taken the Group 111 GNER Park Stakes in a driving finish with With Reason and Tarjman.

    “He was a bit unlucky at Newmarket last time and for a long time I thought he would not get a run here,” said Fanshawe. “But he is as tough as nails and deserved to win that race. He gets a mile but I do not know what we will do with him next.

    “His owner, Simon Gibson, comes from a family which has had a lot of winners over the years and his grandfather, Lord Glanely, owned the only Derby winner to be trained at my yard. That was Grand Parade, who was trained by Frank Barling and won the Derby in 1919, ridden by Fred Templeman.

    “Another member of the family was David Gibson, who rode a lot of jumping winners as an amateur, including three Grand Military Gold Cups on Klaxon.”
