Talk:Repeat winners of horse races

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should Risk of Thunder's 1994 Frank Ward & Co Solicitors Cross Country Chase win be included as it was over 5 furlongs longer (i.e is it the same race?)--Davebesag 23:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

There some others I've found in the Racing Post archive. However, I don't know the specific years they won in
Franc Picard 7 wins between 1853 and 1861 - Grand Steeple-Chase at Dieppe
Redpath 7 wins between 1887 and 1896 - Steeple-Chase des Flandres (apparently he only started winning the race at 10 years of age!)
Baulking Green 3 times winner Scottish Champion Hunter Chase.
Cheekio Ora, 5 wins in the 1980s - Herefordshire Light Horse Breeding Society's Hunter Chase at Hereford. 04:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Peaty Sandy 3 wins (according to the Racing Post website) in the Ladbroke Trophy at Newcastle (now named after him). However, looking at his form on their website it might be 4 wins. --Davebesag 11:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I've got a reference on Franc Picard from the 1985 Guinness book, "Horse Racing The Records" by John Randall & Tony Morris. Franc Picard won the Grand Steeple-Chase at Dieppe from 1853 to 1857 inclusive, and also in 1859 and 1861. He didn't compete in 1859 and was beaten in 1860. Bcp67 20:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Point taken re the link to 'European Champion Hurdle' - it's the race currently known as the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle and run at Leopardstown in January. Shouldn't the link refer to the 'Irish Champion Hurdle', the race's generic title though? AIG Europe is the current sponsor's name. Have left things as they are for the moment though.

Have also listed Prince Charlie as the winner of the Golden Jubilee Stakes rather than the Cork and Orrery, under which name the race was run when he won it in the 1870s - is this correct? Bcp67 06:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
