Dwayne Dunn and Dunster Castle.

pigracer
Just to spend some spare time this morning I looked up Dunster Castle a racehorse ridden in SA in the early 90's by Dwayne Dunn who was still an apprentice.

This horse gave me many profitable Saturdays as it was exceptionally good over 1600 metres.I remember it beating Dark Czar one day for a huge trifecta collect and cementing Dwayne as one of my favourite jockeys.

To my surprise today,the Dunster Castle who came up was an English horse from Minehead England,obviously named after the castle that overlooks the annual agricultural show.

That Dunster show is held on the third Friday in August which by coincidence happens to be today.What a coincidence.

I wonder how many forumites have a favourite horse and jockey combination that has shaped their selections and thoughts in everyday life.

Regards all.The Pig.

I'll save someone the effort.The horse he beat was Dark Ksar,but on the day you could have called it anything. Gee I'd like a few collects like that one.
