Jellaby - favourite and cruising home in the 1978 Lockinge when putting a foot into the only hole in Newbury's straight mile and unshipping his rider.

Kicking King whose rating went from 153 before winning the first of his 4 consecutive grade 1 chases to 175.

La Lagune....brilliant French filly who won The Oaks.

Yes, and ridden by Brian Taylor who wasn't so lucky with a fall when he died at Sha Tin in 1984 after his horse came down.

Matsunosuke - another top all-weather sprinter, this one trained by Scobie Coogan.

Didn't peak until the age of 7 in 2009 attaining an RPR high of 117 on the AW, which I believe is another of the three highest ratings ever achieved on an artificial surface in the UK.

Not even placed

Ovaltine....top long distance horse in the sixties.

Trainer entries

Unsafe Conveyance - at Brighton some time in 1996 a horse named Barbrallen was at the start when jockey Tyrone Williams dismounted and walked away for no apparent reason.

Barbrallen was then withdrawn not under orders and the official form book subsequently recorded, 'Withdrawn - jockey refused to ride horse due to unsafe conveyance'.

Certain Justice - his 14 chase victories at Fontwell between 1960 & 1966 is the greatest number of wins over fences by a horse at the same track in the post-war era.
