Rounded as in a horse's action which some have said makes it less likely the Racing Post winner Kingsbarns will handle firm ground on an undulating track like Epsom.

Prince Monolulu - famous racecourse character, tipster and Jimi Hendrix lookalike.
Quote:
Bernard, Jeffrey - one time racing journalist and prodigious drinker. Inspiration for the Keith Waterhouse play Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell.
EXtremely Odd Story of Death By Chocolate:Quote:
On Valentine’s day in 1965 Jeffrey Bernard, who was working as a racing journalist at the time, visited an ill Monolulu in Middlesex hospital wanting an interview. Bernard had brought with him a box of Black Magic chocolates and offered the famous tipster a ‘strawberry cream’. Unfortunately, Monolulu started to fatally choke on the chocolate. Bernard backed out of the ward bidding farewell.
The untimely demise of Monolulu is related in Bernard's autobiography.

Beauty Parlour - 2012 French 1,000 Guineas winner.
Owned by famous poor losers the Wildenstein family who for the first time in 25 years have a string of horses in the UK. Beauty Parlour is now in the care of Henry Cecil & finished a disappointing 7th of 8 in the G1 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket a month ago on his only run for the trainer. (Because the filly didn't win it's entirely possible the owners have taken her away again - I simply don't know.) |

Dunaden - 6-y-o trained by Mikel Delzangles in France. Cost the equivalent of £1,200 as a yearling.
Won the 2011 Melbourne Cup (£4m) the 2011 Hong Kong Vase (£1.1m) and the 2012 Caulfield Cup (£1.6m). Goes for a repeat at Flemington next Tuesday carrying 59kg. (No horse has defied such a burden since Rain Lover achieved his second successive victory in the Melbourne Cup under 60.5kg in 1969.) |

Hall Green - venue 4 miles south of Birmingham City Centre that hosted steeplechase meetings from 1871 to 1910.
(The racecourse was roughly bounded by Lakey Lane to the north, Redstone Farm Road to the east, Streetbrook Road to the south and Shirley Road to the west.) |

Johnson Houghton, Helen - the first woman to train a classic winner in the UK.
Gilles De Retz took the 2,000 Guineas in 1956 but the horse ran in the name of the stable's head lad because the Jockey Club at that time (and for a further 10 years) refused to entertain the idea of female trainers. |
