Escape - racehorse owned by George IV (then Prince Regent) from 1789-1791.

The horse raced at Newmarket on consecutive days in October 1791, finishing fourth and last in the first contest and winning the second in a major reversal of form.

The Jockey Club stewards suspected rider Sam Chifney of throwing the first race and conveyed to the Prince that if he continued to retain Chifney, 'no gentleman would start against him'. George retained his belief in his jockey and retired from the turf in order to make that point.

^ One of my favourite film titles is Krakatoa, East of Java (Dir. Bernard L. Kowalski, 1969). Krakatoa is in fact west of Java.

Long Pastern Bone - the part of a horse's leg between the fetlock and the top of the hoof.

You've reminded me it wasn't the fetlock that Angers broke in the 1960 Derby, he did indeed split a pastern.

Misere....from around the same time and who I referred to as a no-trick pony. Now not many people got that, any more than the natives understand why I refer to Market Rasen as a "many horse town"....no humour these days.

Ribofilio - ultimately disappointing son of Ribot.

Champion 2-y-o in 1968 the horse started favourite for 4 European classics (including the 2,000 Guineas and the Derby) in 1969 but won none of them.

In the Guineas Ribofilio ran as if distressed and was virtually pulled up by Lester Piggott, raising questions about whether or not the colt was doped.

Two, the number of wins Frankel will, barring divine intervention, achieve for the first time in history in the Sussex Stakes.
