Zoedone, 1883 National winner owned and ridden by Count Karel Kinksy who developed a love of horses and England from one of his servants and in particular the Grand National which he visited as part of an Austrian royal tour. Kinsky is said to have been totally infatuated with and romantically involved with Winston Churchill's mother. He was beyond consoling when Zoedone was mysteriously poisoned on the race day of the 1885 Grand National.

Flying Childers - colt by Darley Arabian foaled 1715, widely regarded as the first great thoroughbred racehorse.

The horse didn't race until aged 6 whereupon, lightly raced, he won 6 out of 6 in 3 seasons.

His owner (the 4th Duke of Devonshire) allegedly refused an offer for Flying Childers to pay the horse's weight in gold.

Intersky Falcon - owned jointly by Mrs Jonjo O'Neill and the syndicate Intersky Racing headed by Terry McDermott and Alan Shearer.

Won two Christmas Hurdles and a Fighting Fifth but not quite good enough in two Champion Hurdles, finishing 5th to Rooster Booster in 2003 and 3rd behind Hardy Eustace in 2004.

Valparaiso Sporting Club - racecourse in Viņa del Mar, Chile.

The track hosts the Chilean Derby or, as the locals know it, El Derby.
