Gordy Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 You are correct Pete, I just googled it. I thought the horse could be Nijinsky as it only lost 2 races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Now for the trifecta.... This used to be a racetrack but racing ended there in 1946 although was still a training centre until 1979. I played football there once (haha) ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
