Over the last few weeks, I have been looking back at some of the racehorses that I enjoyed watching back in the 70s and 80s. Last week it was El Gran Senor. Well I’m staying with the flat and the 80s for this week’s trip down memory lane.

Good morning all,

Over the last two weeks I have taken a trip down memory lane with two of my all-time favourite National Hunt horses Sea Pigeon & Dawn Run.

This week I am turning my attention to the flat. Inside this week’s piece you can find my thoughts on one of my favourite horses of the 1980’s.

Good Morning all,

Last week I took a trip down memory lane with Sea Pigeon the horse that hooked me into the sport of horse racing.

This week I’m looking back at the greatest race mare I have ever seen – Dawn Run.

You can read all about her inside the main piece.

Good morning all,

As expected, horse racing behind closed doors ceased quickly across the Irish Sea and I doubt we will be seeing the sport in the next month either.

Time then to take a trip down memory lane to look at some of the legends of the turf and that’s what I will be doing in this week’s piece.
