Is this horse Nijinsky?

I thought I was joking, but you made me look. The eBay listing includes the following:

"The card is postally used and bears a 1985 postmark."

The jocks are riding very long, so I can only presume that this is in fact the Eider Chase in 1985. If you look to the extreme right, lower, you can just make out the corner of the water jump.

So the Pope misled us - you cannot see the side of the stand in his photo. I did have a suspicion that was the county stand behind Lester and so it was .

All fits - only horse with Group 1 penalty in the race and No 1 - who was almost certainly either Caerleon or Shareef Dancer was withdrawn at the overnight stage.

Teenoso looked sure to win before faltering in the final furlong leaving Willie Carson and Seymour Hicks to head Walter Swinburn and Dazari and Teenoso was diagnosed with a stress fracture thereafter .

Solford was No. 1, carrying a G1 penalty from the Eclipse.

So it was - you do not get Voltigeurs like that very often !

Certainly don't. And they both lost. Hell, both finished unplaced (in a 5 runner race).
