In addition to these events, Park House enjoyed its most successful year in terms of number of races won, individual winners and domestic prize money accumulated during a long and distinguished history. Whilst we may have more horses in training then in previous years and the rate of inflation over the last one hundred years certainly slants the figures in the favour of 2012, it was still a year to remember for all involved.Bonfire provided us with both the highlight and the lowlight of the season, his fantastic victory at York gave us real hope in our quest for the holy grail but sadly neither in the Derby at Epsom or the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown IMPERIAL GLANCE following his win at Epsom with his proud owner-breeder Sandie Newton, David Probert and Matti did he show what he is really capable of.
