Reminds me of one of our early horses about 35 years ago, a fine fellow called Sam Shorrock who was bought out of the Galway Blazers yard. Fairly highly tried in his UK debut at Kempton, we were hopeful of a better show in a beginners at Towcester the next time so were disappointed at his 53l 5th. However, the first 3 were:
1 Knight Oil
2 Garrison Savannah
3 Docklands Express

Younger members might need to consult on them but that is about as hot as Towcester ever got. We had compensation about 10 months later at the same track when he won a 6 horse handicap chase at 66/1 to the cheers of the bookies. He won another 5 over the years and was £10k well spent.
