http://www.drf.com/blogs/white-bliss-or-1-200000-colt It's a shame we'll never see it on a racecourse (he's not a thoroughbred) but, widening the topic a little, I'm wondering if there has ever been a winning pure white thoroughbred racehorse in this country. There was one foaled in Australia back in 2007 that fetched $270,000 at a yearling sale in 2008. He won one race from about ten. I tried to locate a video of the colt racing but none was available. Watching a pure white in action must be a spectacular sight, and I can't help but think of Desert Orchid in his final years as a close comparison. |

Sir Henry who was looking a bit better yesterday which was great to see and I'm sure he had a tear in eye as he welcomed home the best horse he's ever had for the last time.

Indian Derby - held on the first Sunday in February at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai.
The race was inaugurated in 1943. The last three renewals have been won by British jockeys Richard Hughes, David Allan & Martin Dwyer. |

Minting - colt by Triple Crown winner Lord Lyon foaled 1883.
Although top-rated 2-y-o in 1885 (a vintage year for the juvenile division) he proved inferior to Ormonde at 3 and 4. In the 1886 2,000 Guineas Minting was beaten 2l (the pair 10l clear) and in the 1887 Hardwicke Stakes Ormonde prevailed by a neck. Contemporary reports suggest that Minting would have won 9 Derbys out of 10 but he gave Ormonde a swerve in 1886 going instead for the Grand Prix de Paris which he won in a canter. |
