Charming Jenny - From this pedigree chart it seems that Old Morocco Mare threw Spanker and was then bred back to her son giving birth to Spanker Mare.

I guess you can't get much more inbred than that. There are other examples on the database especially early on in the piece.

Munter - 1998 German filly by Hernando.

(The name is not an offensive comment on the horse. Munter in German means 'blithely'.)

Phosphorus - 1837 Derby winner.

The only chemical element to win the race. (Sodium ran 4th in 1966 and went on to win the Irish Derby.)

Wernher, Sir Harold - owner of the incomparable and legendary Brown Jack.

(If I could go back in time and watch one race it would be Brown Jack's 6th successive victory in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot in 1934.)

Ela-Mana-Mou - good 2-y-o but slightly disappointing in his 3-y-o season after which he was sold for £½ million and transferred from Guy Harwood to Dick Hern.

Came into his own in 1980 at 4 winning 3 G1 races including the Eclipse & King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes making the buying price look like a proper bargain.
