Can anyone tell me who trained the one eyed mile/mile and two handicapper Blockade in the 80’s??.
Cheers P
P Cole and R Hodges trained Blockade a 2 mile stayer,Belpor was a one eyed 8 to 10 furlong horse if my memory is ok. I hope this is some help.
If you go to back a certainty always buy a return ticket.
The Blockade I remember was trained by Michael Bell throughout a long career, but he didn’t start racing until 1991.
Wore red and grey colours, raced mostly over 1M, and recorded his last win as a 10-year-old.

There was a Blockade which ran in the 80s, sometimes at longer trips, that was trained by P Cole/R Hodges on the Flat and by R Hodges/R Barber over jumps.
Blockade USA ran in the 90s.
Was not aware that either was one-eyed.
Blimey was it really the 90’s!!! (old age creeping up) Yeah the Bell one is the one i thinking of, cheers AP apprieciated.
Blockade was trained by Guy Harwood and ran over 11/4m-11/2m and was owned by Gerald Leigh who"s brown with 3 white Chevrons were well known colours in the 80"s! No i have just realised she was called
Brocade
!
Were the chevrons white TAPK? I’d say beige. Brocade was the dam of Gossamer and Barathea, wasn’t she?
