    Like Bromide? Don’t think they’d run very fast! Can imagine a line of horses at the start all curling up and going to sleep.

    Wasn’t Special Cargo, the Queen Mother’s Whitbread winner, a rig?

    Triple Crown winner Diamond Jubilee was a rig as was Honeyway; both went on to have stud careers, though Honeyway needed treatment first & Diamond Jubilee was a savage.

    I read somewhere that New Approach was/is a rig. Can’t remember where though.

    Selkirk was a rig when racing, but if memory serves had the offending nut removed prior to commencing a succesful career at stud.

    Quito is a recent example
