Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted March 9, 2016 John is correct on 6,7,8,10 Al is correct on 1, 3a, 4a, 4c Lloyd has #2 & #9 correct also. Surprised no one has named the jock. Just some stallions to name, the Derby-winning hoop and San Lefair's trainer. I actually bought San Lefair as a broodmare for a client in the early 90s ! Her best run was probably a 4th to Mr Trick in the Gr1 Fourex Cup in Brisbane (beating Rose and Thistle, Hayley's Hope, Atrapar & Avitt, although she did win a number of open handicaps including one at Ellerlsie and the Poverty Bay Gold Cup beating Whitole.
