  • Willie Carson
    SPORTING LEGENDS: WILLIE CARSON SPORT: HORSE RACING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1970 - 1988 The son of a warehouseman and a waitress, Willie Carson hardly seemed destined for fame and wealth. He was a small lad and got so fed up with hearing, “Aren’t you wee, you ought to be a jockey” that he bought an old chestnut mare from a gipsy troupe for £4. “He often used to fall off but he never cried”, recalls Thea McFarlane, who coached him. “I thought he was too small and frail to be a jockey”. Unlike his great rival, Lester Piggott, Carson was not a natural horseman. “Often I thought of giving up”, he says. “If someone had come up with a good idea for me, I would have jumped at it. Luckily, they didn’t”. At 17, Carson started a gruelling apprenticeship with trainer Gerald Armstrong but didn’t ride his first winner home until he was nearly 20. In 1968, Lord Derby, one of the great names in English racing, asked Willie up to become his First Jockey. “I told him to think it over”, Lord Derby said. “Willie jokes it took just two seconds”. In 1971, Carson joined the van Cutsem stable, his dream being to win one of the English classics, the Derby, 1000 Guineas, 2000 Guineas, Oaks and St Leger. Next year he did, loping home on High Top in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. By the end of the season, Carson had notched up 132 Winners to clinch the Jockey Championship. He won it again in 1973. SPORTING LEGENDS: WILLIE CARSON Willie Carson in full flow! Four years later, Carson joined Major Dick Hern, who trained horses for the Queen.

  • Sea the Stars & Crystal Ocean
    TUESDAY, 26 JUNE 2018 There was never going to be any difficulty in their first season, PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: SEA THE when Sea The Stars was priced at i85,000 and Frankel at ,125,000 and they respectively covered 136 and 131 mares. The STARS & CRYSTAL OCEAN problem is that there isn't an endless supply of breeders prepared to invest heavily in untried but high-priced stallions and events showed that not even Sea The Stars and Frankel were immune to the fluctuating demand that affects so many young stallions in their first four seasons. It now seems hard to believe that Sea The Stars's totals in those first four years were 136, 83, 138 and 82 mares. Frankel's figures were 131, 128, 104 and 105. Perhaps Frankel's arrival as a stallion in 2013 was partly to blame for Sea The Stars's book falling to 82 mares, but their main problem was that these unproven horses were competing against stallions whose ability to sire top performers had been proven time after time.

Britain's premier all-aged 12-furlong contest, worth a boosted £1.215 million this year, takes place at 3.50pm on Saturday, July 25. Golden Horn extended his perfect record to five races on July 4 in the 10-furlong Group One Coral- Eclipse at Sandown Park, beating older opponents for the first time in great style. The three-year-old Cape Cross colt, owned by breeder Anthony Oppenheimer and trained by John Gosden in Newmarket, captured Britain's premier Classic, the Investec Derby, over 12 furlongs at Epsom Downs impressively on June 6 after being supplemented following a runaway Betfred Dante Stakes success at York in May. If successful at Ascot on July 25, Golden Horn would also become the fourth horse capture the Derby, Eclipse and King George in the same year. ËËË Three horses have completed the Derby/Eclipse/King George treble in the same year - Nashwan (1989), Mill Reef (1971) and Tulyar (1952). ËËË The 2001 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes saw Galileo become the first Derby winner at Epsom Downs to win the Ascot contest since Lammtarra in 1995.
