  1. Just looking at that top 10 list and Anabaa has done pretty well off the least amount of runners.  For me he is the least well known of the top 10.  Does anyone have any thoughts on why he has been successful - looking back on the past 3-4 years results, he has been in and around the top 10 throughout.

    On the money there SP, 6 furlongs that's it  tank empty. She went on to finish 2nd in the next year's  July Cup to Habibti . Day after the Stewards  i persuaded my nan to let me roll up my winnings on Wiki Wiki Wheels , with his brother Miki Miki Motor my all time favorite racehorse names .It won and I was hooked and forever in love with Goodwood.

    Soba' s trainer David Chapman and jockey Dandy Nicholls both sadly passed on, the old march of time .Chapman was a master of beating the handicapper with the sprinters, Chaplins Club in the 80s won 9 races in season  twice (when uk flat  season ran March to Nov)  including an  unreal 7 wins in 19 days one year. He also won 9 in a year with Glencroft , the horse had been tubed so bit disconcerting seeing him walk round paddock. Basically Chapman got hold big players  cheap cast offs and problems and worked the oracle.  A true punters friend.

    Right going to nab telly before family watch build a house show and relive Soba 1982 on you tube. Good days.

    Red Rum, Dandy Nicholls liked to set a horse for Goodwood as well and had quiet a bit of success doing it.  I remember having a collect off one of his horses Double Oscar at Goodwood in the late nineties.

    Couple of articles you may be interested in - the first one mentions Chapman and Soba
