[cormack15]

It’s been requested by a variety of members over the years and, like all good ideas, its time has finally arrived.

"THE TRF HALL OF FAME"

We’ll add more every year as part of the TRF Awards but to get things going let’s start with the following –

10 chasers
15 flat horses
5 jockeys
5 trainers
and 3 others (owners, commentators, administrators, lads, etc)

Trainers – Cecil, Gosden, Stoute, Noseda and Johnston

Flat Horses – Dayjur. I highly doubt this fellow will make the final 10 but I nominate him because without doubt he is up there with the greatest sprinters that have raced. He’s certainly by far and away the best from the last 20 years or so.
