Which winner of a Royal Ascot Group 1 race had finished 8th in a maiden hurdle at Cartmel less than two years before?
That is correct Burrough Hill. Quite an extraordinary turn around from failed hurdler to winning the Jubilee and July Cup – Group 1 races over 6 furlongs!
Over to you…
Cheers Burroughill
Continuing on the theme of Jim Joel owned horses………which horse won at the Festival for him, 12 days before he sadly passed away?
That
might
be Keep Talking in the 1992 National Hunt Chase.
A race I remember well, as (1) I did my pocket money for the whole Festival on The Forties on the strength of his win in a Taunton 4m2.5f handicap a few weeks earlier, (2) Ted Caine had his one and only Cheltenham runner (Carousel Crossett; refused 19th) in that renewal.
Or was it something else?

Which high-profile racehorse owner had a staying handicap chase at Windsor regularly run in his name until 1991 – still a few years before another handicap chase elsewhere would give him his own biggest win as an owner?

I’m not sure we wish to know your personal circumstance GC
On to the question could it possibly be that most famous hamster eater Freddie Starr ?
