Of course they are all too young to remember but I was slightly surprised and disappointed with the ATR coverage of the 2-y-o race at Windsor. There was a horse called Pheidippides running and in 1957 a horse with that name won the Gimcrack for Phil Bull. He ran in the following years Guineas (unplaced) and later in his career went to be trained by Michael Pope. He ran many races for that trainer and was still competing in his teens. The last race he won was a seller ridden by P.Eddery a seven pound claimer. Seems like yesterday.
