Hey it worked out well Phil. Thanks for the landline chat and the catch up.

Now what was the name of that Darby winner ?

Hi James.. :)

The daft thoroughbred we've got......"Bill".

His 'Dad' was Teenoso, who won the Derby in 1983. (Von says Teenoso was one of the 'worst' ever Derby winners.)
One of Bill's 'Granddad's' was Grundy, who won the Derby in 1975. (Even I'd heard of Grundy.....But could I remember his wretched name last night ?.....Brain fade, again. X_X)

Apparently Bill ran in 4 races of fairly large 'fields' and came third in three of those, after which he injured a tendon (or two) and was retired from racing.

Cheers - Phil
