Lol. The horse Lester was riding was Spanish Pool. I remember watching this as it was a match race for charity. Spanish pool went on to further success in Sa.

Applause to Gajima. It was a match race indeed but a match race more for Piggot v Shoe. Sadly, Piggot, lost it. The horse, a filly, whom Shoe rode was Princes(s?) Gate.

Tks to Titch who posted the pic a couple of years.

Spot on Dave. A golden age for hurdlers with Dramatist, Birds Nest, Bula, Lanzarote, Comedy of Errors, the list goes on and on. And the great Persian War.
