One of my favourite horses I never saw. A Grandson named LAWN DERBY (by Robert Derby)

The first horse outside America to run under the 2.00 minute mile . At Addington in November 1938 in 1.59.4 .

Remembering it was still hard to break 2 minutes even up to the 1970's.  unthinkable in 1938. 

And he did it without Hopples !! an amazing feat of training . what an amazing pacer . (Today 99 % of them still need hopples to keep balanced) 

One of the greatest Feats of All time in Australia and NZ by an All-time great..
