I first remember watching the race in 1978.
IIRC Jellaby stood in a hole and unseated Brian Taylor a furlong out and Don sidestepped him to win.
It was once open to 3yos, but not now.
Newbury is half an hour from me and I was there to see Frankel win it.
And Farhh the next year, who was generously priced because few thought a horse who had been annihilated could be much good - he'd been annihilated by the best racehorse ever imo.
Good supporting card too, including the London Gold Cup which I think used to be run at Alexandra Park in the shadow of Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally).
I seldom go racing nowadays - and certainly not on a Saturday - so will be watching at home.
Happy Lockinge Day!
