The Flying Dutchman 1849 Derby and Leger winner who won all but one of his 15 starts when he lost to Voltigeur, the 1850 Derby and Leger winner, who in receipt of 19 lbs in the Doncaster Cup won by half a length. Kept in training specifically for a match of 1,000 sovereigns the following year he got his revenge over Voltigeur when conceding 8.5 lbs he won by a length and was retired to stud.

Galleywood Common - home of Chelmsford racecourse from 1759 (or earlier) until 1935.
Perhaps uniquely the course enclosed a brickworks, a windmill and a church. |

Isinglass, Triple Crown Winner in 1893 who also won the Ascot Gold Cup as a 5yo. On retirement in 1895 he had won a then world record of £58k in prize money which stood until 1923 and remained a British record until 1952, his skeleton is in the Natural History Museum in London. His dam was at one time used as a carriage horse.

Kylie - Australian filly by Danehill Dancer foaled 2004 and winner of 2 races from 7 amassing A$85,580 in prize money.
Kylie means 'boomerang' in the Western Australian Aboriginal language of Noongar. Here is a video (34 secs) of a man throwing a boomerang. I only include it because I'm curious to know whether or not the wallaby wearing sunglasses is real. |

Pinch of salt, as in may be needed when historically comparing G1 wins for horses as there are more G1 races now than years ago primarily due to G2s being upgraded to G1s.

Robin Goodfellow - tipster for the Daily Mail the role currently being occupied by former jockey and racing editor Brian Giles.
The inspiration is doubtless the character Robin Goodfellow (aka Puck) from A Midsummer Night's Dream. |

Tangerine Trees - good sprinter trained by Bryan Smart with 11 wins from 37 starts over the past 4 years including a Group 3 at Newmarket last year.
Owned by the Tangerine Trees Partnership and I'd be surprised if the name wasn't borrowed from The Beatles song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Quote:
His sire is Mind Games and his dam is Easy To Imagine so yet more connections.
(We can't pin down the inspiration for Blow Your Mind because the line could come from practically any song written between 1964 and 1974.) |
