    Poor quality with typically weird use of music

    Well final proof that this AEROSMITH song is vomit inducing even at the best of times. After all, this video contained the best of times and I still feel quesy.

    Thanks MarkTT, I had seen that clip when looking before but was more looking for the whole race.

    A great race alright.

    Far closer and less predictable than the puzzlingly much-lauded ‘Grundy-Bustino’ race, which could be called confidently 2f out.

    Shall I don my tin hat?

    I have got a copy of the whole race on disc but the quality is pretty poor. I haven’t got a clue how to put it on YouTube but you are welcome to a copy. Just PM your details if you’re interested.

    Puzzling to you perhaps.

    I would have seen it at the time but now have absolutely no recollection of that Nassau. It is a comparison between one of top two condition races run each season and a race confined to fillies. Back in ’75 the Ascot track record was confortably broken and a filly who in my opinion had a much better record than the Nassau protaganists was left trailing. As far as I can recall Bustino rallied and was only beaten off inside the final furlong. If it is all about a close finish you could just as easily nominate a seller.

    It was a great race for me Stilvi not only was Ouija Board my favourite racehorse at the time but I had also invested £50 of my wife’s money without her knowing. :lol:

    Thanks Pat, I’ll pm you later.

    I done the same a few years later with Duke of Marmalade in the King George and Henrythenavigator in the Sussex stakes all won by the smallest of margins I don’t know if I decided to quit whilst I was ahead or before my heart gave out…… :mrgreen:

    Pat, the cd arrived today. Quality was fine, thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for. You should set up your own business in selling them on. How much would you charge for all of Canford Cliffs victory’s? :D

    Mine too Nathan, In September after that exciting Nassau win,Ed Dunlop held an Open Day at Gainsborough Lodge in Hamilton Road, Newmarket before he moved to his new yard several years later. It was all in aid of The Brooke Foundation and Ed was at the gate signing pictures of Ouija Board (I still have it). Around Midday she was paraded in the paddock and we all had the chance to stroke and make a fuss of her.

    She has gone on to produce 5 beautiful foals now her first, a colt, by Kingmambo (Voodoo Prince) another by Monsun (Aegaeus) and a colt and a filly by Galileo (Australia) (Fila Regina). All trained by Ed Dunlop with the exeption of Australia who is doing very well with Aiden O’Brien.

    She had her fifth foal by Dubawi on 10th January this year after failing to produce a foal by him in 2012.

    She was and still is my favourite filly/mare of all time and wish her and her progeny well.

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    No problem Nathan, don’t wear the disc out :) I’ve often thought about selling a few on ebay to see how they sell but don’t think it’s worth the hassle. I’ll get back to you on Canford Cliffs :)
