Here is one for reminiscers ...

Probably the most impressive p2p maiden winner (1)I witnessed was at Kildorrery 1980 .
He won a division of the 4 and 5 year old maiden by a distance from a 4 yr old stable companion named after the hometown(2) of a recently retired Jockey.(3)
The trainer(4) was the source of the winners of seven, at least, Cheltenham Gold Cups
The jockey (5) was a top p2p jockey of that era from Dungarvan area who rarely rode for the trainer .
A horse sharing the jockey's name was placed in a Cathcart Cup years later , whose trainer once trained a Cheltenham Gold Cup winner (6)
The following year, as a novice chaser (1) started favourite for the Irish Grand National but fell.
The next day he won the Power Gold Cup easily, emulating a 1970s Cheltenham Gold Cup winner (7) who fell in an Irish National before winning Powers Gold Cup the next day
Sold to England his first season with a Ross -On -Wye trainer (8) was unsuccessful
Moved to Harewood he joined "the famous five " (9,10,11,12,13)
There he won many chases in a row before finishing third to a stable companion(11) in King George Vi chase
He finally got his Cheltenham Festival when Amateur ridden (14) , this jockey's second Festival winner that week, the first a top novice hurdler (15)
This jockey's father trained two Festival winners, both Novice Hurdles (16) ( 17)
The same jockey (18) rode these two .
His first two Festival rides were winners, ( 16) and the Champion Chase winner (19) that year.
When (19) won the following year his jockey's (20) family was from Kildorrery, where the story began.
Answers 1 -20 please , for your own pleasure
( I do hope the Ross On Wye connection is correct, doubting my memory a little )
Merry Christmas

It's abundantly clear you don't like flat racing, but hard to see why your'e constantly knocking it - apart from a fetish for showing your disdain.
