Now maybe someone would like to start a sensible thread on the great grey beast by Clicking on "+ Start discussion" at the top of this page or underneath Marks "What a lovely Grey Nonny" thread.

left handed* doh

no, not the greatest race ever Sammy my friend, that was El Gran Senor's (see my profile pic) 2000 guineas, imo.

i was there to see the grey who didnt like going right handed and didnt stay 3m2 beat Yahoo in the Gold Cup. i'm ashamed to say i was cheering Yahoo as i would have got a 20 odd quid bonus if he'd have won! My old man, to his credit cheered Dessie up the hill and there was a £4k difference to him.

was anyone else there that day?

dessie defied all the odds on this great day . the word legend is too commonly used in this day and age but dessie was a true sporting legend.
