Bash Street Kids - there is a startling omission in the complement of racehorses named after the characters in the famous comic strip.
We've had Danny, Erbert, Fatty, Plug, Sidney, Spotty, Toots, Wilfrid, Cuthbert, Headmaster, Janitor, Olive, Teacher and Winston. But no Smiffy. |

Isonomy. The first horse to win the Stayers Triple Crown (Ascot Gold Cup/Goodwood Cup/Doncaster Cup) in 1875, a feat which was not repeated until 1949. His owner kept him under wraps as a 3yo for a massive gamble in the Cambridgeshire at the end of the season which earned him £40,000. Such was his fame he is mentioned in a Sherlock Holmes novel Silver Blaze as an ancestor of the fictional horse.

Mad Moose - gelding trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies. Winner of 6 races from 35 starts over jumps.
Refused to race at both Cheltenham & Aintree this spring but went into the stalls like a lamb at Doncaster last Friday and proceeded to break his maiden on the flat at the ripe old age of 9. |

Until Frankel won the Greenham Stakes & the 2,000 Guineas in 2011 only one horse (Wollow in 1976) had completed that double since 1932.
