Prince Charles - made his debut as a jockey in March 1980 when he finished 2nd on 13/8 favourite Long Wharf in a charity race at Plumpton.
Thompson, Derek 'Tommo' - ubiquitous broadcaster, racecourse commentator & tipster.

I'm convinced the reason Charles has looked so miserable for the past 32 years is that he can't stop brooding about coming second to Thompson (aboard Classified) in this race. I'm sure the pale spectre of Tommo lurks in the shadows of the Royal Bedroom at Highgrove House mocking Charles mercilessly while he lies awake replaying the race over and over again in his head, cursing himself repeatedly for letting Tommo come up his inside.

It's an open secret in racing that when Princess Diana said, 'There are three people in this marriage', she was actually talking about Tommo and not Camilla Parker-Bowles.

An ironic tale indeed given the Duchess Of Cornwall's rather equine features
