Piping Lane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Piping Lane (foaled 1966) was a brown gelding Australian Thoroughbred racehorse by Lanesborough out of the mare Londonderry Air, bred and trained in South Australia, who came to prominence by winning the 1972 Melbourne Cup over 3200 metres at odds of 40/1. Piping Lane was owned by Mr. R. W. Trinder, trained by George Hanlon and ridden by John Letts. The very good racehorse Gunsynd ran third.

Piping Lane's other significant wins included the 1972 C B Cox Stakes and the 1972 Hobart Cup.
