Sir Ivor

[@redbrian3655]

I saw Sir Ivor win the DC International at Laurel when I was a schoolboy. That race was such a big deal back then as so few horses were venturing out of their respective countries.

Before lasix ruined the sport, this was one of the best sire-of-turf-sires ever. Cashed a lot of first-timers on the grass at good odds who had this horse in their pedigree.

I always grew up believing that Piggott was stone-faced and never smiled. However, after looking at all of the videos now available on KZbin I see that is not the case. When it comes to expressing Joy, he is no Dettori, but Piggott smiles often enough.

Great Horse ... great year !!!

It’s great to see this. I hope Sandy Barclay is doing well. What a jockey he promised to be back then. I often thought he should have stayed in the UK rather than going to France but still, he was a hugely talented rider. Also, Lester’s ride on Ribero in the Leger was masterful. The horse had an abscess I believe and he had to nurse the horse home.

@@robertdelacy3434 That's gratitude for you! Loyalty hasn't always been a sports persons strongest character, but I suppose you can't blame a person for having ambitions and waning to be on top of their chosen profession.
