Can’t believe I forgot Istabraq for no 10
Or that I got Fondmort confused with Tuitchev !!
1) Mandarin
2) Cool Ground
3) Dornas Pride
6) Dawn Run – J J O’Neill
10) Hatton’s Grace, Sir Ken, Persian WarGo Ballistic came 3rd in back to back Gold Cups? Just thinking off the top of my head.
Mistinguett has just come into my head. Don’t know whether she won the Triumph, but I’m fairly sure she was a mare, so I’m halfway there.
[edit: this is rather ridiculous – I did some research on the Triumph Hurdle 2 months ago, and I’m fairly sure there were 3 mares amongst the past winners that I looked up, so ought to know the 3rd.]
