If I remember correctly, he was a grey New Zealand horse who went on to do duty at Buckingham Palace....or am I thinking of another horse.
Never Bend
Over Round
The percentage take of the overall bookmakers odds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_bookmaking
(personally I think they should declare odds based on the bet required to return 100
eg
evens = 50
4 to 1 = 20
4/6 = 60
that way you would just add the odds to get the total overround.

There's a good chance Grand Canyon was NZ bred - a fair few of Kent's horses were sourced from that country. As for Buckingham Palace I really cannot say.
Suluk - 18 victories at Southwell between 1990 & 1993 give Suluk the post-war record for the greatest number of wins over hurdles by a horse at the same track.
United Services Hunt Cup - short-lived contest at the Cheltenham Festival (1927-29) run over 3½ miles.
Any idea as to how many horses died over the four days ?
I saw that 5 had been put down in the first two days .
