Was curious to find out what the sponsors Sizer do … Google didn’t help much …

Thank you for such a quick and accurate reply!!!

I’d often wondered in passing about the name, but never really thought that they were sponsored by a company..in fact the wondering never moved on to the ‘thinking’ bit

. Interesting to know [as long as I can remember for long enough to impress someone with!].

The question was asked at Cheltenham on their radio set up.
The answer from the trainer was that indeed was to do with mining.
Apparently Mr Potts ( and possible Mrs or both) devised a machine that revolutionised mining.
Hence the name of their horses and the various continents it is now used on.
Turned them into multi millionaires.

They also had a horse called ‘Green Mining’ in training with De Bromhead.

The last-named now in training with Tim and Abbi Vaughan. Has already placed in a Welsh Point this spring, if nothing else yet.
