Old names reused again today - they will hope this two year old will have the talent without the malice of Steve Nesbitt's mad old sprinter of the 1970s !

For you youngsters

Ubedizzy, Steve Nesbitt's best and most notorious horse, was a high-class sprinter who won the William Hill Trophy at York in 1976, and was fourth in the Nunthorpe in 1977 and second (to Boldboy) in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket in 1978.

Ubedizzy became savage, and in the unsaddling enclosure after the Abernant he knelt on his groom and started to eat him. He was not allowed to run again in Britain and was sold to race in Sweden, where he became champion sprinter.
