MUSINGS
FROM A RETIRED RACING ENTHUSIAST
"Hennessy
offers heroes of all shapes and sizes
"I'M
THINKING of wearing stockings. Another pair came flying out of the top-flat
window on Thursday and it seems a shame
to waste them. I don't think anyone would notice. After all, in the coffee shop
Emily has been serving lattes wearing a pair of antlers.
"Mercifully,
Christmas comes but once a year and it's just the same with the Hennessy Gold
Cup, although the Hennessy tends to cost
more. I don't think I've ever backed the winner, until this year (see bellow)
If you're thinking of going to Newbury go early - it gives you more time to be in the traffic
jams.
"It's
a race with a tremendous, evocative history. Like Ingemar Erlandsson, the
Swedish football international, the
Hennessy was born on November 16, 1957. MANDARIN won the first running
of the race, at Cheltenham , and after it moved
to Newbury he won it again. In the meantime John Lawrence, later Lord Oaksey, had won it on TAXIDERMIST, who stuffed all
the others (I know, I just couldn't stop myself).
"Lord
Oaksey had a strong, emotional
connection with the race. You probably know about CARRUTHERS, last
year's winner, bred by Lord Oaksey and trained by his son-in-law Mark
Bradstock, but you may not know about GHOFAR, who won the Hennessy in 1989.
"GHOFAR was half-owned by Sir Hugh
Dundas, who was Lord Oaksey brother in law
and one of the most remarkable men I have ever met. You need strong
nerves to keep coming back for more after yet another bone-breaking fall but
you need even stronger ones when you are only 19, already flying a Spitfire and,
every time you take off, German Messerschmitts are waiting to kill you. For
Battle of Britain pilots, Dundas Dundas
"In May 1941 Dundas was shot
down and crash landed in Kent Dundas Dundas Norfolk Dundas Dundas
"If his wife, Lord Oaksey's sister, hadn't prodded Dundas Dundas
"There had been heroics of a different kind in 1964 and 1965
when ARKLE not only won the Hennessy, but won it carrying 12st 7lb. He only
failed to repeat the feat in 1966 because he couldn't quite give 35lb to
STALBRIDGE COLONIST who, a few months later, after ARKLE had retired, was
narrowly beaten in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. TIDAL BAY fans might like to ponder
the fact that the winner RONDETTO was the last 11-year-old Hennessy winner.
"Older horses don't have a great record in the race, unlike
jockey PAUL NICHOLLS. It is quite difficult to look at the names of the 1986
and 1987 winners BROADHEATH and PLAYSCHOOL without noticing, next to NICHOLLS'
name, 10st 5lb and 10st 8lb. Oh well I know the feeling.
"And so it goes on, because the Hennessy is a race that
brings back memories. On to NICHOLLS
again, as a trainer of three Hennessy winners, including DENMANS stirring
triumphs in 2007 and 2009."
"Today
is also the day after the end of Movember and it's heartening that so many
racing people have taken part to raise awareness of men's cancers and funds for Prostate Cancer UK UK
"There
's still time to donate via movember.com
and everyone's welcome to The Malt Shovel in Upper
Lambourn from 6pm today for a
Movember celebration. Alice
