    Seagram (50p as an 11 year old)
    Rough Quest
    Lord Gyllene
    Red Marauder
    Comply Or Die
    Ballabriggs
    Auroras Encore (never to be repeated!)
    One For Arthur

    Not a bad record but anything prior to Comply Or Die was a case of choosing via a three line description in the Saturday paper. Just goes to show current methods are no better!

    Have had quite a few over the years [starting with Team Spirit when I was a kid which got me hooked on racing]. Used to have far fewer bets years ago, though. Was chuffed when I was the only one in my racing club to back Seagram. I cheated and followed Eddie Freemantle when he wrote for the Observer. Earth Summit was probably the easiest because of the ground. Now I have to admit to having loads of tiny bets because I can't bear the thought of not getting the winner.

    I have a good record in the GN (10 winners since 1970; many places), including Aurora’s Encore. It’s so good that I feel genuinely pissed off if I don’t at least break even. I cannot abide the pinstickers in my household who get lucky, either.

    Yeah how comes it's always Dizzy Miss Lizzy who draws out Red Rum in the pub or works sweep and asks you "has this got any chance"?
