Sharp Hat - sprinter trained by David Chapman until its retirement 6 years ago at the age of 13.
The horse ran 217 times in 12 seasons (winning 24 races) which is probably a record number of career starts for a horse trained in Britain. |

Bushes, The - many racecourses have bushes growing by the side of the track but only those at Newmarket have a name, which is The Bushes.
Anyway, it's a group of small trees (or bushes to be strictly accurate) growing by the side of Newmarket's Rowley Mile course a little over 2f from the finish. It's commonly thought that Charles II favoured this spot for watching races in the 17th century. |

Dip, The - many racecourses have a dip in the track but only the one at Newmarket has a name, which is The Dip.
Anyway, it's the downhill section of Newmarket's Rowley Mile course starting at the 2f marker and reaching its lowest point about 1f out before the uphill stretch to the line. |

Goodwood - the first ever racecourse commentary (by Peter O'Sullevan) was heard here in (I think) 1952.

King Credo - bred and part-owned by actor James Bolam, won the 1992 Imperial Cup and the 1993 Tote Gold Trophy (formerly the Schweppes Gold Trophy).
Trained by Steve Woodman whose father Syd trained King Credo's dam Credo's Daughter (also owned by Bolam) to win several good chases in the 1970s. |
