    Anyone remember this fella? If my memory is correct he was beaten by a super horse in Very Promising at Cheltenham in 84/85 but gained his revenge in the H & T Gold cup at Ascot! He was trained by John Webber and ridden by Graham McCourt! He was an old favourite of mine!

    Remember him being very useful but then his form declining GW.
    For whatever reason I think he`d been transferred to Henderson late in his career and do remember him being in the yard for the first Lambourn Open Day I went to ( 1987 I think)

    As soon as I saw that header the words John Webber went through my mind. Funny how I can remember who trained a horse I haven’t thought of for 20 years but can’t remember what I did yesterday…… :roll:

    Have come across a (poor) photo I took of him in his box from the open day which at least shows all might not be lost with my fast fading memory :D
