    The animated version of Animal Farm seemed to be on telly a lot when I was small. The allegory went completely over my head, but I was always distraught when this happened:

    So I'll say Boxer. Although I was slightly obsessed with Desert Orchid for a few years too.

    Sprinter Sacre. What a horse. Would nearly bring a tear to your eye seeing what he did.

    I love the ones that shed the jockey early-on then go on to win the race.

    Also the phrase "get it down you horsebox"

    I'm hungover so that gave me a boo-hoo. Have to go and build something now to restore my manliness.

    Brought for $9500 and won over $2.2 million. It's a great film. Especially Calvin Borell's scenes.

    I picked a straight forecast on the national about 10 years ago,the bet was a free in a newspaper I found a on a table in a pub. Numbersixvalverde and hedgehunter 1st and 2nd.
    Istabraq was a classy horse too,but too difficult to back for the average joe
