Comment[edit]

I just about remember Thatching: when he won the July Cup John Oaksey commented that he ran "as if he had a cannonball up his backside". Google news is still not working properly. Tigerboy1966 19:59, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just before my time. Great quote from the Noble Lord though! You've mentioned that he beat Persepolis in 1979 - a horse of the same name was a 3yo in 1982, ran unplaced in the Derby - is the 1979 horse correct? --Bcp67 (talk) 20:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
