Fantastic post absalom.
Would you have the Bula hurdle where Birds Nest tried to slip the field, pulled himself up and fought back to win? Connaught Ranger 2nd if memory serves.

I mustv'e been fanatical about racing at the age of 10 as i remember most of those runners and watching a lot of those horses on a black and white tv!!
