Painted Black was another Japanese bred horse to stand here, but they were pretty ordinary although I don't know that he was particularly well patronised
TheMug, well named. I'm about as politically unPC as they come. Gingernuts is what we used to call every chesnut colt til it got a name. I just couldn't believe someone at HQ was naive enough to think they were naming their horse after a biscuit. "talk", he would have been a colt at some stage
In the north they had the Eyelure Derby for women drivers for a few years before we were able to drive at the races. It was a non-tote event once a year from memory
