sayyedati ( 26 january 1990 – august 2007 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare .

in a racing career which lasted from june 1992 to october 1995 she ran twenty-two times winning six races and being placed eight times .

sayyedati was one of the leading two-year-old fillies in europe in 1992 , recording group one successes in the moyglare stud stakes at the curragh and the cheveley park stakes at newmarket racecourse .

after being beaten on her three-year-old debut , sayyedati won the classic 1000 guineas .

she went on to become a successful international performer over a mile , winning the prix jacques le marois at deauville in 1993 and the sussex stakes at goodwood as a five-year-old .

she was also placed in several major races including the breeders ' cup mile .

sayyedati was retired from racing to become a broodmare at the end of her five-year-old season .

sayyedati

he saddled two winners of the 1000 guineas at newmarket in pebbles ( 1984 ) and sayyedati ( 1993 ) .
since sayyedati’s triumph , older horses have redressed the balance somewhat , landing eight of the 14 renewals up to 2008 .
whatever her future assignments , sayyedati is unlikely to offer the gilt - edged value of yesterday . her lathering did not escape the notice of the bookmakers , and by the time the stalls opened sayyedati had been stretched to a 4 - 1 chance from an opening 5 - 2 .
sayyedati , trained in england by clive brittain and owned by mohammed obaida , won by a half - length over niche , ridden by lester piggott .
swinburn believes sayyedati to have only just reached her peak , despite the fact that she captured the 1 , 000 guineas earlier this season . ' now you ' re seeing the real sayyedati , ' he said . ' even though she was a guineas winner in the spring there was something missing from her performances .
swinburn held sayyedati off the pace until the halfway mark before charging through on the rail to win the one - mile race for 3 - year - old fillies .
sayyedati enjoyed further success in the paddocks as she produced the 2002 champagne stakes winner almushahar as well as cunas and lonely ahead , who were also winners in britain .
sayyedati also won the prix jacques le marois that year but she endured a fruitless 1994 for trainer clive brittain before bouncing back to claim the sussex stakes in her final season .
in addition to hatoof in 1992 , he landed the 1000 guineas with musical bliss ( 1989 ) and sayyedati ( 1993 ) , with his 2000 guineas success coming through doyoun ( 1988 ) .
he won the 2000 guineas at newmarket in 1988 aboard doyoun and went on to win the 1000 guineas three times , with musical bliss in 1989 , hatoof in 1992 and sayyedati in 1993 .
it was sayyedati herself who looked excited , and overly so , as the field entered the parade ring . brittain ' s painstaking preparations appeared as if they would come to naught as the filly sweated profusely .
the most powerful case yet this season for the title of champion miler was presented here yesterday as sayyedati , britain ' s sole challenger , swept away a favourite french prize , the prix jacques le marois .
newmarket , england — walter swinburn rode sayyedati to victory in the 1 , 000 guineas on thursday , the third time in five years the jockey has won the opening race of england ' s classic series .
' i made my mind up that night that i would ride sayyedati , ' he said . ' i have dreamed about her all winter and i wasn ' t going to let one bad afternoon put me off .
nevertheless , soviet line has his work cut out today to cope with sayyedati ( nap 2 . 30 ) . five - year - old classic winners are located almost exclusively on stud farms , but sayyedati remains in the care of clive brittain , who has won this race twice in the last four years . the promise of her seasonal debut in france , plus the race conditions , suggest she should reward connections ' perseverance this afternoon .
that racing is a contest of opinions more than horses was emphasised here yesterday when sayyedati narrowly won the cherry hinton stakes from toocando and mystic goddess . while william hill were unmoved and left her a 33 - 1 chance for the 1 , 000 guineas - ladbrokes , in contrast , were impressed enough to show 20 - 1 - clive brittain , the trainer , was sufficiently intoxicated by sayyedati ' s victory to elevate her above the great pebbles .
a much better run followed in the sussex stakes as barathea duelled with the sir henry cecil colt distant view , running ½ a length second in a vintage field that also contained grand lodge , sayyedati , mister baileys and bigstone .
pat eddery , ski paradise ' s rider , said he had been baulked as he began his surge , but would never have caught sayyedati anyway , while swinburn added that his filly had reserves to repel anything that came at her .
after sayyedati ' s nell gwyn defeat , there were those who suggested swinburn should switch to zarani sidi anna . the rider , though , never swerved from allegiance to a horse that had kept his thoughts warm since the end of last season .
the landscape looked far less alluring to swinburn yesterday however as his small plane cruised in over le havre . rain lashed the fuselage , bringing with it fear , not for personal safety , but that the ground would be too soft for sayyedati .
a trainer who issues bold assertions on behalf of his horses is infinitely preferable to the it ' s - morning - but - don ' t - quote - me types who dominate flat racing , and in fairness sayyedati has plenty of assets to take towards the cheveley park stakes , her only remaining target this year . not the least of them are her physical strength and parentage . dubian , her dam , improved almost daily after finishing third in the 1985 oaks , and sayyedati has the same look about her .
sayyedati has surprisingly been installed favourite to win sunday ' s prix jacques le marois for the second successive year . ladbrokes yesterday opened the betting on the mile event which is so often the highlight of the deauville season and quoted the filly at 9 - 4 .
sayyedati ' s victory here persuaded brittain that she was of sufficient merit to enter the league of the other top fillies he has trained , pebbles and user friendly . unlike that pair , however , she is likely to be kept to a mile for the rest of her career .
however , the group one contest appears to be every bit as competitive as goodwood ' s sussex stakes in which sayyedati finished fourth to distant view , barathea and grand lodge . the second and third home are quoted at 7 - 2 and 8 - 1 respectively for sunday ' s race with the french - trained pair east of the moon & ski paradise bracketed on 3 - 1 . sayyedati was third to the latter at tokyo in april , but appeared to be back to her best in the sussex in which she was trapped against the rails in the closing stages .
for michael roberts , the jockey putting the wind up pat eddery in the championship , alliances with the foal - bearing gender are providing some of the year ' s best pay days . roberts has already won the queen mary stakes with the ludicrously fast lyric fantasy , whom he refuses to compare with sayyedati .
prix jacques le marois ( deauville , sunday ) , ladbrokes : 9 - 4 sayyedati , 3 - 1 east of the moon & ski paradise , 7 - 2 barathea , 8 - 1 grand lodge , 16 - 1 emperor jones . turtle island is quoted at 3 - 1 ' with a run ' .
sayyedati ( gb ) b . f , 1990 { 9 - c } dp = 5 - 2 - 13 - 4 - 0 ( 24 ) di = 1 . 29 cd = 0 . 33 - 22 starts , 6 wins , 5 places , 5 shows career earnings : $ 1 , 383 , 707
vindication for clive brittain and walter swinburn here yesterday as sayyedati produced the performance that trainer and jockey had promised to capture the 1 , 000 guineas . the filly will now be remembered as a classic animal rather than the spluttering creature that temporarily surrendered her reputation in the nell gwyn stakes on this course two weeks ago .
the newmarket trainer had left as little as possible to chance . sayyedati had repeated temperature tests in the run - up to the first classic , her manger was scrubbed clean before any food was introduced and , on the eve of the race , the filly ' s lad , wayne dunkley , slept by her side .
last year ' s winner bigstone , on whom frankie dettori deputised for the late - arriving olivier peslier , claimed third place in front of ski paradise , another doing her best work at the finish . distant view faded to fifth , followed by turtle island , a very disappointing east of the moon , sayyedati and mehthaaf .
success would provide a much needed fillip for sayyedati ' s trainer , clive brittain , whose string have been out of form this season , registering only 17 wins from 266 starters . that strike - rate of six per cent compares unfavourably with most of his newmarket neighbours among whom a win rate of around 20 per cent is not uncommon .
sayyedati’s 1995 victory marked a definite sea - change . clive brittain’s brilliantly resilient five - year - old mare had been a tad unlucky to finish only second and fourth in the previous two renewals of the sussex stakes but gained deserved recompense in a tight finish , at the expense of the season’s leading three - year - old miler , bahri .
kiyoshi and rizeena are the two overseas challengers . impressive winner of the group three albany stakes at royal ascot , the charlie hills - trained kiyoshi is likely to go off favourite on saturday on the strength of that performance . rizeena , meanwhile , is under the care of veteran trainer clive brittain , who landed this prize with sayyedati back in 1992 .

in view of the fact that pebbles won the 1 , 000 guineas , eclipse stakes and breeders ' cup turf , brittain ' s assessment of sayyedati might be expected to crack under the heat of cross - examination , but however sceptically you receive such pronouncements you cannot question brittain ' s ability to find and condition high - class horses - in spite of his position outside the mainstream of newmarket fashion .
a furlong from home the contestants fanned out in customary french manner , but the one horse to break free was sayyedati . close home , as the favourite kingmambo ( who was later found to have lost a shoe ) faded , andre fabre ' s ski paradise looked as though she might be able to mount a challenge , but this , the race jockeys revealed , was little more than an optical illusion .
sayyedati ' s final race before santa anita in november is likely to be the queen elizabeth ii stakes at ascot next month , though the prix moulin and a rematch with kingmambo is also a possibility . ' i also put her in the haydock sprint cup just in case we needed to sharpen her up , ' the trainer said , ' but i think we saw today she ' s sharp enough already . '
1997 lemarate ( c . by gulch ) , 40 - race maiden 1998 d’jebel amour ( f . mt . livermore ) , twice a winner in the us 1999 cunas ( f . irish river ) , won one race from two starts ; dam of useful middle distance stayer sabotage , placed in the aston park stakes ( l , 13f ) 2000 almushahar ( c . silver hawk ) , won only two career starts , both at two , including the champagne stakes ( gr . 2 , 7f ) ; died 2004 2001 hyper delight ( c . silver hawk ) , twice a winner in japan 2003 lonely ahead ( f . rahy ) , won one race from five starts 2005 sayyedati symphony ( f . gone west ) , seven - race maiden 2007 sayyedati storm ( f . storm cat ) , thrice - raced maiden
but while sayyedati endures , there are cataclysmic changes elsewhere at the royal meeting this week . for the first time since 1964 there will be no nicky beaumont , the clerk of the course who proudly defended the traditions of the meeting for so many years . and that means that his wife , ginny , will also not be there to conduct land of hope and glory from the bandstand for the hopelessly oiled congregation .
swinburn expects sayyedati to show her sharpest form of all at the breeders ' cup . ' she ' ll be even better suited by a good gallop like they get america , where she can go with them and use her cruising speed before kicking at the end , ' he said . ' i ' ll enjoy riding her there . ' but probably not as much as he enjoyed his celebratory evening in swaggering deauville .
in the race’s inter - generation era , three - year - olds have held the call with 40 victories , with 10 from four - year - olds . solow will be trying to become the fourth five - year - old winner , after sayyedati ( 1995 ) , reel buddy ( 2003 ) and ramonti ( 2007 ) . the oldest winners have been six - year - olds noalcoholic ( 1983 ) and court masterpiece ( 2006 ) .
' you can ' t . it ' s impossible , ' he says . ' lyric fantasy is just sheer speed . this one ( sayyedati ) is a possible classic filly for next year . ' brittain is , of course , similarly endowed with good fillies , and says : ' i haven ' t seen the likes of this since i was with sir noel murless ( in the vintage years of petite etoile and company ) . '
the cherry hinton stakes has a good record and two recent champion fillies won it , dazzle in 1996 and attraction in 2003 , while sayyedati ( 1992 ) , wannabe grand ( 1998 ) and donna blini ( 2005 ) each added the cheveley park stakes to her tally . sander camillo ' s success was very reminiscent of attraction ' s sparkling five - length victory and the similarity does not end there , since neither filly ran again as a two - year - old .
before too long brittain had done well enough to be able to buy carlburg from lemos , a move that didn ' t interrupt the flow of influential owners into or unforgettable winners out of the yard . there was mystiko and terimon for lady beaverbrook , user friendly for bill gredley , sayyedati for mohammed obaida , crimplene for sheikh marwan al maktoum and , of course , a steady stream of success for the white and red colours of brittain ' s great compadre saeed manana .
why , for example , is sayyedati , one of england ' s top milers , running in the sprint ? the filly is bred for turf ( by the english stallion shadeed ) . she runs from off the pace at a mile and she has displayed none of the speed necessary to be a contender in a six - furlong dash . other entrants in dirt races look miscast too . it ' s a safe bet that the foreigners ' record in dirt races this year will be zero for five .
sayyedati ' s trainer , clive brittain , was trembling with delight as he welcomed her back and placed her in lofty company . ' she must be in the mould of pebbles ( brittain ' s 1985 breeders ' cup turf winner ) because she ' s got that same electrifying burst of speed , ' he said . this estimation was not contradicted by the winning jockey , walter swinburn . ' this is a proper horse , ' he said . ' she compares with anything i ' ve ridden over a mile . '
dropped back to 2000m for the gr1 grand prix de paris at longchamp , he brought the field into the straight and was then headed by emperor jones , only to fight back and win by a nose in a desperate finish with bigstone , in a track record time of 2 : 01 . 6 . bigstone would go on to win the gr1 sussex stakes , in which he beat sayyedati and zafonic , and the gr1 queen elizabeth ii stakes , beating barathea and kingmambo , and establish himself as the champion miler elect .
on her next appearance , gold splash was matched against colts and older horses in the prix jacques le marois at deauville in august and finished fifth behind sayyedati , ski paradise , kingmambo and elizabeth bay . in september she finished sixth behind kingmambo in the prix du moulin at longchamp . in october , gold splash was dropped in class and started favourite for the group two prix du rond point at longchamp . after turning into the straight in third place she faded to finish eighth of the ten runners behind the four - year - old colt voleris .
august 1972 , brett doyle rode his first winner at pontefract on quiet achiever on 9th october 1989 for trainer clive brittain . it was brittain for whom doyle chiefly rode , and who was responsible for much of doyle’s early development . doyle’s first group 1 success came on the brittain - trained sayyedati in the 1995 sussex stakes , and he also won the german and italian 2000 guineas in 1997 onair express , again for brittain . he also won the group 2 premio ellington in italy that year on another of brittain’s campaigners , the much travelled luso .
clive brittain is usually over confident sometimes about the chances of his horses winning group races . he did say on channel 4 racing he was confident before both pebbles and sayyedati won the 1 , 000 guineas , and that he feels the same about rizeena . i can see lots of people laying rizeena on the exchanges , but i ' m not prepared to oppose the horse . however , as lucky kristale beat her by 2 lengths in the cherry hinton , she represents better value than rizeena . however , rizeena is more likely to stay a mile than lucky kristale .

maroof ( 12 april 1990 – 30 december 1999 ) was an american - bred , british - trained thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his upset victory over a top - class field in the 1994 queen elizabeth ii stakes . he showed very promising form in his four races as a juvenile in 1992 , winning the group three vintage stakes and finishing a close second in the group one national stakes . he had problems with injuries as a three - year - old and won one minor race from only two starts in the autumn . as a four - year - old he ran consistently , finishing second in the brigadier gerard stakes , international stakes and park stakes but appeared to be just below top class . on his final appearance however , he produced by far his best performance as he led from the start and won the queen elizabeth ii stakes at odd of 66 / 1 from opponents including barathea , bigstone , distant view , turtle island , east of the moon and sayyedati . he was retired to stud at the end of the year and had some success as a sire of winners in new zealand . he died in 1999 .
among the many outstanding winners have been : habibti ( 1982 ) who went to become the champion sprinter in 1983 ; park appeal ( 1984 ) the dam of cape cross ; chimes of freedom ( 1989 ) who won the following year’s coronation stakes and child stakes ; caricciosa ( 1990 ) who added the group 1 cheveley park stakes at newmarket later that autumn ; sayyedati ( 1992 ) who won the cheveley park stakes , english 1 , 000 guineas , prix jacques le marois and sussex stakes ; tarascon ( 1997 ) who won the irish 1 , 000 guineas ; rumplestiltskin ( 2005 ) who won the prix marcel boussac later that year and was the dam of tapestry ; again ( 2008 ) who won the irish 1 , 000 guineas ; misty for me ( 2010 ) who won the prix marcel boussac , irish 1 , 000 guineas and pretty polly stakes and was the dam of roly poly ; sky lantern ( 2012 ) who won the english 1 , 000 guineas and sun chariot stakes ; rizeena ( 2013 ) who won the coronation stakes ; and minding ( 2015 ) who went on to win the fillies’ mile at two , the english 1 , 000 guineas and oaks , the pretty polly stakes , nassau stakes and qeii stakes .

brittain and swinburn predicted such improvement , but were aware that their hopeful message had found many disbelieving ears , and when the jockey celebrated victory with a fist sent heavenwards this was a gesture spurred as much by justification as elation .
' if i hadn ' t won , all the newspapers would have said i ' d got it wrong . but i just wasn ' t having that . this filly has never had the credit she deserves and because of the build - up i was probably a little more excited today than i normally am . '
this attention appeared to be futile , however , when brittain saw his horse emerge for action . ' she was sweating when she came out of her box and she looked a little bit on edge , ' the trainer said . ' i was worried .
' but i got more relaxed when i saw she was walking round with that elegant stride of hers . and anyway , only wooden horses don ' t sweat . '
' i ' ve been so lucky in life , whatever happens from here on in , ' brittain said . ' to have fillies like these is incredible . '
the more significant stretching after that , however , concerned the filly ' s loping stride , which had her tucked in , going well , behind the pacemaking niche . three furlongs out , swinburn steered to the outside , at about the same moment that michael roberts , on the french - trained favourite , elizabeth bay , realised that his first classic ride as sheikh mohammed ' s retained jockey was not to be a winning one .
niche did not relent . ' she kept going and going , she ' s got great heart , ' reported her jockey , lester piggott . but swinburn knew that the superior horsepower was under his saddle . ' i was just waiting to pounce , ' he said .
behind him there were two colleagues whose desire to succeed went outside the laws . richard hills , on third - placed ajfan , and lanfranco dettori , fifth on dayflower , both collected four - day suspensions for overuse of the whip .
' i feel sorry for those guys , ' swinburn said . ' how can they go back to their owners and trainers and say they could have done better but they had used up their quota with the stick ? '
a measure of compassion then from the winning jockey , but a day when he felt a more powerful emotion . one of vindication .

' she ' s in very good form and was unlucky not to get a run in the sussex stakes , ' brittain said . ' it is going to be like the sussex all over again . she acts on the course and won it last year . hopefully we ' re going back for a repeat . '
with the ground at deauville already on the fast side of good , and drying out , the chances that turtle island , the irish 2 , 000 guineas winner , will take part are decreasing . robert sangster ' s colt has been absent since finishing third to grand lodge in the st james ' s palace stakes at royal ascot and missed the sussex stakes owing to firm ground .
jane chapple - hyam , wife of the colt ' s trainer , peter , said : ' turtle island will run at deauville only if the ground is on the soft side of good . the international stakes at york next tuesday is an alternative , but we would want plenty of rain as the ground would have to ease considerably . '
the john gosden - trained catrail is expected to be withdrawn at today ' s declaration stage , along with lemon souffle who is on the easy list after inexplicably losing her action .
similarly baffling to veterinary science is the affliction affecting erhaab , the derby winner , who underwent a further series of examinations yesterday that will determine his racing future .
the colt was checked over by a dubai - based american vet as john dunlop , his trainer , seeks an explanation for the three - year - old ' s most recent racecourse failures at sandown and ascot .
the examination , by dr mike hauser , took place at trainer dunlop ' s arundel stable , but the result of his analysis will not be announced until today .
angus gold , racing manager to erhaab ' s owner , hamdan al maktoum , said : ' we wanted another opinion on what mr dunlop ' s vet , dr paul dupreez , has already told us . '
hauser was called in after x - ray pictures of erhaab taken last week failed to reveal what had caused the colt to run so disappointingly in his last two races . his advice will help connections to decide whether to proceed with an autumn campaign , centred on the prix de l ' arc de triomphe , or retire the colt .
at ascot , erhaab collected a bruised knee when beaten over 10 lengths into seventh by king ' s theatre . the build - up to the race had been interrupted by the recurrence of a hamstring injury sustained when third to ezzoud and bob ' s return in the eclipse stakes .

the home side do not like to see a treasured possession leaving their shores ( lear fan in 1984 was the last winner from the other side of la manche ) and many good british horses have foundered in normandy . the suggestion yesterday , though , was that a rare victory had been achieved by a filly with rare talent .
swinburn felt he had earned a night out in deauville with this success , and that will have meant a sumptuous evening to compare with the best any racing centre can offer .
they call the month - long meeting on the normandy course la semaine , probably because the excesses at deauville ensure a week feels like a lot longer . the eating experience usually involves food which looks as if it has been fashioned into shape under a microscope .
the coastal town is the archetypal rich man ' s playground ; a town where coiffeured pets are a compulsory fashion accessory , where polo aficionados celebrate the highlight of their year , the lancel cup , and where cinema figures float past surreally as if you have wandered on to a film set .
deauville , though , had escaped the squall and for swinburn there were to be no more worrying moments . even as a battery of three horses wearing the colours of stavros niarchos buzzed around menacingly at the head of the field , the jockey felt comfortable at the rump of proceedings . ' it was a slow pace ( a handicap later in the day was run three seconds faster ) and everybody was travelling well , ' he reported . ' but i was very happy where i was and she was always going sweetly . '
' she ' s got this thing about hitting the front , like in the guineas when she was tying up at the end , ' he said . ' but what impressed me today was the last 100 yards or so when , for an awful moment , i thought pat might get me , but she put her neck out . she looked around a bit when she hit the front , but when the other horse came at her she went again . '
' i would love to know what her racing weight is now because i ' d bet she ' d be 50 kilos heavier than she was on nell gwyn day ( at newmarket in april ) . on that day she looked terrible . all credit must go to clive , who ' s done a fantastic job with her . '
the job for brittain , though , is only half done as the game plan since she won her classic has been geared around the breeders ' cup mile , a race , incidentally , which was captured in 1987 and 1988 by the filly that had previously won the prix jacques le marois in those years , miesque .
' the owner ( mohammed obaida ) asked me after the guineas to train her specifically for the breeders ' cup , ' brittain said . ' when it was first discussed i said that realistically it was not a race for three - year - olds because it ' s difficult to go through the season picking up race after race and then expecting a horse to peak at the end of a season . that ' s why she has not had a hard time , with four races spread over a fair time . we needed to save something .

sir michael stoute hailed walter swinburn as a
naturally gifted rider with a god - given talent
after the former jockey and trainer died at the age of 55 .
forever associated with stoute ' s extraordinary 1981 derby winner shergar , swinburn suffered with weight issues throughout a glittering career in the saddle .
yet despite his problems , he will always be remembered as a brilliant jockey and a man for the big occasion .
i ' d drive him to the races and he slept the whole way there . he had a remarkable temperament for the big day .
he was just a naturally gifted rider with a god - given talent . the big days turned him on .
we had a great relationship . of course there were many times when he drove me absolutely mad , but he just had this unique talent .
we loved him riding the horses and he had a great relationship with the staff over a long period .
there was a vulnerability , but that maybe comes when you have as much talent as he did .
swinburn suffered an awful fall at sha tin racecourse in 1996 and was placed in a coma for four days after he sustained severe head and chest injuries .
but he returned to action within six months , and at the end of the year won the breeders ' cup turf on the stoute - trained pilsudski .
the trainer added :
i think the win on pilsudski gave him a great deal of satisfaction , that was a great day for us at woodbine .
swinburn enjoyed many fine days in the colours of cheveley park stud , whose managing director chris richardson said :
i am shocked at the news .
walter was an integral part for david and patricia thompson ' s cheveley park stud success in the 1990s .
wonderful memories of gay gallanta and exclusive ' s group one successes , to name but two .
leading french trainer criquette head - maarek described swinburn as
one of the greatest ever jockeys
.
head - maarek and swinburn developed a fruitful association in the 1990s , most notably with hatoof , on whom the rider won the 1000 guineas and the champion stakes at newmarket .
the chantilly handler said :
he was such a talented rider . he had really soft hands and had fantastic judgement during races .
walter was a great boy and it is such a young age that he has died .
in my opinion , i think he was one of the greatest ever jockeys .
nicknamed the ' choirboy ' , he partnered shergar to derby glory at the age of 19 - one of three winners for swinburn in the epsom classic alongside shahrastani ( 1986 ) and lammtarra ( 1995 ) .
swinburn also won the 1983 prix de l ' arc de triomphe on the filly all along , trained by patrick biancone .
shergar and swinburn went on to claim the king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes at ascot in their derby - winning year , with the jockey twice tasting success in the irish derby with shareef dancer ( 1983 ) and shahrastani ( 1986 ) .
in 1987 , he again teamed up with stoute on the biggest stage to claim the oaks aboard unite .
swinburn , seen here at chester in 2010 , went on to train and sent out more than 260 winners from his hertfordshire base .
swinburn , who retired from the saddle in 2000 , and willie carson were great rivals during a golden age of gifted horsemen .
the former five - time champion jockey also highlighted swinburn ' s temperament as being one of his greatest attributes .
carson said :
he rode a derby winner before i even rode a winner at the same age . isn ' t that incredible ?
he got more excitement out of the big days than he did on the little days .
reigning champion jockey jim crowley was in awe of swinburn ' s finesse in the saddle .
he told sky sports news :
he was a great guy . he was a gifted rider with beautiful hands .
he probably found it very easy and he was beautiful to watch .
swinburn took over the training licence from his father - in - law , peter harris , in november 2004 and sent out over 260 winners from his hertfordshire base before he retired in october 2011 .

former leading jockey walter swinburn , who rode shergar to derby victory , died yesterday ( 12 december ) aged 55 .
walter was just 19 when he partnered shergar to the record - breaking 10 - length victory in the epsom derby in 1981 .
this was the first of walter’s three derby victories , after which he took the 1986 race on shahrastani and again in 1995 aboard lammtarra .
the jockey and shergar went on to claim the king george vi & queen elizabeth stakes at ascot in their derby - winning year .
among walter’s many other notable wins was the 1983 prix de l’arc de triomphe on the patrick biancone - trained filly all along , and the breeders’ cup turf on pilsudksi in 1996 .
in february 1996 , he had a horrific fall at sha tin after his ride liffey rider crashed through the railing at the hong kong racecourse , leaving him in intensive care for a week with head and chest injuries .
six months later , he won his first race back on talathath at windsor .
walter retired from race - riding in 2000 and went on to take over the training licence from his father - in - law , peter harris , in 2004 .
he enjoyed success as a trainer , with more than 260 winners , and handed in his licence at the end of october 2011 , citing financial reasons . he also spent some time on the channel 4 racing team .
“shocked with the awful news that walter swinburn has passed away , another jockey has gone too soon . immensely talented and gifted rider , ” three - time champion jockey richard hughes tweeted last night ( 12 december ) .
retired grand national - winning jockey mick fitzgerald added walter was a “genius on a racehorse” .
“he had beautiful hands and looked like he was born to ride . may he rest in peace , ” he added .
frankie dettori said he was very saddened to hear the news of walter’s passing .
“ a true talent and gentleman , thoughts are with his family , ” he added .
“very sad to hear about the death of walter swinburn , ” he said . “a jockey that god hath retained . ”

after two promising second places , brazos made it third time lucky as he got off the mark in the casino at bet365 maiden . the son of clodovil came through late to beat lyn valley and mystique rider by two necks and in the process give ryan moore his 100 th winner at goodwood .
the rider was more impressed with the colt than his own landmark .
he did that well and he ' ll be better for it ,
he said .
he ' ll be a nice horse .
told it was his century at the track , he said in typically dry deadpan style :
is that all ? disappointing .
brazos ' s veteran trainer clive brittain was not present , but bruce raymond , racing manager to owner saeed manana , was as impressed as the jockey with the dark grey ' s effort .
he can go on from this quite a bit ,
he said .
he ' d been getting a bit keen in his races and he was better for being held up today .
the colt jibbed babyishly when asked to enter the winner ' s place , consenting to be led forward only after being unsaddled .
he ' s still green , still learning ,
said raymond ,
and he can furnish up physically as well .
he seemed to like the ease in the ground ; i think a lot of clodovils do . we might think about a race like the royal lodge stakes for him , but that ' s a bit of a way down the line yet .

sander camillo , timeform’s second highest - rated ( 116p ) two - year - old filly of 2006 behind finsceal beo , made a disappointing return to action at newmarket on wednesday as she failed to land the odds in the group 3 shadwell nell gwyn stakes , finishing a neck second to scarlet runner .
the toby edmonds - trained tyzone is the ramornie handicap favourite ahead of his stablemate havasay .
invited for the second year running to ride at the vodacom durban july meeting in greyville , nooresh juglall made the trip to south africa count with one winner – just like last year .
bon hoffa’s g1 winning son bon aurum will stand at glen eden stud in victoria this spring .
exciting sprinter nature strip was a sale ring reject who could be racing for a share of $ 13 million in the everest in october after recording another brilliant win at flemington on saturday .
the first indication that sander camillo possessed above - average ability came on her second appearance , in the eighteen - runner albany stakes at royal ascot for which she started favourite up against ten winners , including second favourite bahama mama , silk blossom and scarlet runner .
sander camillo ' s reputation rather than her form was responsible for her heading the market . on her only previous start she had seemed to need the experience in a maiden race at newmarket in may , running on under hands and heels once she got the hang of things to finish fourth to another albany stakes contender bicoastal .
bicoastal and the rest had no answer to sander camillo at ascot where she was always going strongly disputing the lead , quickened readily two furlongs out and was soon on top , running on strongly , despite drifting right , to account for silk blossom by a length and a half with scarlet runner third .
the albany stakes has proved a worthwhile addition to the royal meeting since its inauguration in 2002 , attracting an average of sixteen fillies and requiring a useful performance from its winners , duty paid , silca ' s gift , jewel in the sand and la chunga ( a 270 , 000 - dollar two - year - old purchase for sander camillo ' s owner ) .
sander camillo was clearly in the same mould and , like jewel in the sand , she headed next for the chippenham lodge stud cherry hinton stakes at newmarket in july . like her predecessor , she completed the double , only in much more impressive style .
all ten runners were winners but , despite the presence of unbeaten gilded carrying a 3 - lb penalty for winning the queen mary stakes , sander camillo started a hot favourite at 11 / 8 . next in the betting came alderney , four - length winner of a maiden at york , silk blossom , gilded , newmarket listed winner hope ' n ' charity and alzerra , who had landed a maiden at haydock .
close up and going well within herself from the outset as 100 / 1 - shot three decades led , sander camillo was soon in command after being given the office a quarter of a mile out , none of her rivals , headed by alzerra , finding anything in reply under pressure .
by contrast , sander camillo continued to find more without coming under anything like full pressure , drawing clear and passing the post with five lengths to spare over alzerra , with gilded a neck away third . a breathtaking victory , one made colourful by the winner ' s rider frankie dettori sporting italian flags painted on his cheeks in celebration of italy ' s victory in the world cup .
attraction suffered an injury but sander camillo remained fit , apart from having an unsatisfactory blood test result which caused her withdrawal from the lowther stakes won by silk blossom .
however , sander camillo ' s connections bypassed the moyglare stud stakes and she was taken out of the prix marcel boussac six days beforehand and the cheveley park stakes on the day .

two reasons : the styling , which evoked toyota’s then - new lexus luxury line , and roominess . camrys that toyota had imported to the states up until then had hewed to a japanese market restriction of being no more than 67 inches wide . for 1992 , toyota decided to build a separate model just for the north american and australian markets that was 70 inches wide . in so doing , it created a competitor to the 71 - inch - wide ford taurus , which it would go on to dethrone as the most popular sedan in the u . s . in 1997 . it’s held that honor for all but one year since .
as a racehorse , victory sir amassed almost $ 294 , 000 , winning 38 races over 13 consecutive years on 13 different racetracks ! he’s been an outstanding racehorse and is so extra deserving of a loving home that will spoil him with affection during retirement . he’ll be an excellent partner to ride or drive around the farm or on the trails . he has no bad habits and is an easy keeper - there’s nothing not to love about this dear sweet horse– even his name is classy !
at the bbc , attenborough faced two obstacles . first , the station had little to no programming devoted to the natural sciences , and second , his boss thought that attenborough’s teeth were too big for him to be an on - air personality . despite these hindrances , however , attenborough persevered , taking small steps forward on the path toward his ultimate destiny . he started out producing the quiz show animal , vegetable , mineral ? and then moved on to co - host a program called the pattern of animals with naturalist sir julian huxley .
here’s our thinking : during the 1970s , jaguar reliability was horrid . a common solution to the car’s troubles was to rip out the jaguar motor and replace it with a good old chevrolet v8 . but in the 1980s , under the leadership of an industrial turnaround specialist , sir john egan , the marque started to improve . then ford bought the company , infusing money and development know - how . by the late 1990s , the company was scoring well on j . d . power vehicle dependability and initial quality rankings . so that’s why the last iteration of the classic jaguar inline - 6 sedan is still motoring on , often in the hands of a second owner who’s always hankered for a jag but couldn’t afford one new .

despite a career devoted to celebrating and preserving wildlife , david attenborough has a deep dislike of rats .
“i ' m not an animal lover if that means you think things are nice if you can pat them , but i am intoxicated by animals . ”
naturalist and television personality david attenborough is the father of the modern nature documentary .
david attenborough was born in london , england , in 1926 . after studying the natural sciences at the university of cambridge , he began his career as a producer at the bbc , where he launched the successful zoo quest series . attenborough was made controller of bbc two in 1965 and later its director of programming . during his tenure the station crossed over to color television , and attenborough was instrumental in expanding its natural history content . attenborough left the bbc to begin writing and producing various series , including the smash hit life on earth , which set the standards for the modern nature documentary . since then attenborough has written , produced , hosted and narrated countless award - winning , nature - focused programs and has devoted his life to celebrating and preserving wildlife .
famed naturalist and television personality david frederick attenborough was born on may 8 , 1926 , in a suburb of london , england . the second of three boys born to a university principal and a writer , he and his brothers would all find great success in their chosen careers , which would take them far from the city of leicester , where they were raised .
indeed . david’s older brother richard attenborough would become an academy award–winning actor and director , and his younger brother , john would become a top executive at the italian car company alfa romeo . but despite their notable achievements , neither brother would lead a life as full of adventure and travel nor become as internationally beloved as david .
despite the relative urban surroundings in which he lived , david attenborough’s fascination with the natural world developed early and by the age of seven he had assembled a sizable collection of bird eggs and fossils . a lecture by famous naturalist grey owl that he attended in 1936 only served to deepen his interest , and after graduating from high school he was awarded a scholarship to study the natural sciences at the university of cambridge . upon completing his studies in 1947 , attenborough was called to serve for two years in the royal navy . however , any hopes he had that this would be his chance to see the world were dashed when he was posted to a ship in wales .
in 1949 attenborough returned to london and found work as an editor for an educational publisher . the following year he began a training program at the bbc . in 1952 attenborough completed his training and began working for the television station as a producer , thus marking the beginning of what would be a milestone career , both at the bbc and far , far beyond it .
attenborough married jane oriel in 1950 until her death in 1997 from a brain hemorrhage . the couple had two children together : a son and daughter .
but attenborough was dissatisfied with the format of shows such as these , which often brought animals out of their natural habitats and into the distressing environment of a television studio . seeking to break with this unfortunate tradition , in 1954 attenborough launched a series titled zoo quest . the program filmed animals not only in captivity , but also in the wild , with the film crews traveling far and wide to capture images of the animals . with its on - location yet respectfully distant approach to filming wildlife , zoo quest established what are now the general standards for nature documentaries . the show was so successful with viewers that in 1957 the bbc established its natural history unit .
despite his growing success , attenborough left the bbc in early 1960s to study social anthropology at the london school of economics . when bbc two was created in 1965 , however , attenborough was asked to return to the station as its controller . in both this capacity and as director of programming for both the bbc and bbc two , attenborough continued to collect milestones , pioneering such educational series as the ascent of man and civilisation , overseeing the bbc’s transition to color television and having the wisdom to sign up an oddball comedy series called monty python’s flying circus , starring john cleese and terry gilliam among others . in recognition of his contributions , in 1970 the british academy honored him with its desmond davis award . yet attenborough could not shake the passion that had remained with him since his youth , and in 1972 he resigned from his post at the bbc to follow his dreams into the wild .
after leaving the bbc , attenborough began to write and produce tv series as a freelancer and quickly established himself with a string of successful programs , including eastwards with attenborough ( 1973 ) , which featured an anthropological study of indonesia , and the tribal eye ( 1975 ) , which examined tribal art throughout the world . but attenborough’s greatest success would come in 1976 , when his program life on earth first aired . a 96 - episode examination of the role of evolution in nature , the show took attenborough and his crews around the globe , using cutting - edge filming techniques to bring wildlife into homes worldwide , gaining an estimated viewing audience of more than 500 million .
the success of life on earth made david attenborough a household name and , in the decades that followed , allowed him to write , produce and host countless other series , including the trials of life ( 1990 ) , which focused on animal development and behavior ; the private life of plants ( 1995 ) , which used time - lapse photography to explore the botanical world ; attenborough in paradise ( 1996 ) , about his personal - favorite animals , birds of paradise ; and the 10 - part series the life of birds ( 1998 ) , for which he won a peabody award . he has also narrated numerous other programs , including the bbc’s wildlife on one , which ran for 250 episodes from 1977 to 2005 , and the 2006 series planet earth , the biggest wildlife documentary ever made and the first show to air in hd on the bbc .
the advancement of his age has done little to slow the intrepid attenborough , who into his 80s has continued both his globetrotting and his prolific output . completing his life trilogy , 2008 saw the airing of his series life in cold blood , an examination of reptiles , and in 2012 he began a series of programs filmed in 3 - d for the sky television network . attenborough’s lifelong commitment to the natural world has also led him toward ecological activism both on the air and offscreen . he wrote and produced the environmentally themed state of the planet ( 2000 ) and saving planet earth ( 2007 ) . he is a patron of the organizations population matters , which examines the impact of human populations growth on the natural world , and the world land trust , which buys rainforests around the globe with the aim of preserving their wildlife .
during his lifetime of achievement , david attenborough has received myriad honors . he was knighted in 1985 , received the order of merit from queen elizabeth in 2002 and holds at least 31 honorary degrees from british universities , including oxford and cambridge . he published his biography , life on air , in 2002 , and in 2012 was the subject of the bbc documentary attenborough : 60 years in the wild . in 2014 a poll revealed that he was considered to be the most trustworthy public figure in britain . attenborough is also the most traveled person in recorded human history , and is the oldest person to have ever visited the north pole . but in perhaps the most fitting tribute of all , several species of plants , insects and birds have been graced with attenborough’s name , ensuring that it will live alongside the many creatures that he has spent his life celebrating and protecting .

the head of the northern ireland civil service has deferred his retirement again until after the talks deadline at stormont .
it is the second time the north ' s most senior civil servant has deferred his retirement due to the political impasse . he had initially announced he would stand down in january , but was asked to remain in post until april .
his initial deferral came after the late martin mcguinness resigned as deputy first minister , triggering the collapse of the assembly .
he has led the civil service through its most radical change programme since the 1970s , overseeing the reduction in the number of government departments from 12 to nine and reducing the size of the civil service by 17 per cent through the voluntary exit scheme .
the 42 - year - old underwent hot baths , saunas and extreme dieting in order to keep his weight down to around 10st 3lb when racing , while his healthy weight would have been closer to 12st .
he said : “there’s nights i would eat the whole packet…it is not something i am proud of . for someone that had pretty good willpower it is not anywhere near as good as it used to be . ”
but he joked : “maybe i need to come out of retirement just to get myself back , get my diet back to a more healthy lifestyle , even though people thought it was unhealthy . ”
just had my @ randoxhealth check… . not surprisingly the doc didn ' t think a lot of my medical history ! ! urltoken
“when i was racing i was unhealthy looking , ” he said . “everybody tells me now i am healthy looking , but yet there are things i need to keep an eye on , like my cholesterol , the possibility of diabetes .
“i spent all my life dieting but it is something i actually do need to ( do ) . because my body was so used to that i cannot really let my lifestyle change too much . i am two stone heavier than i was a year and a half ago .
“the biggest problem that we have in the world is that most of us only go to the doctor whenever we are ill . prevention is so much better than any cure . ”

he’s a quiet horse that will excel in a home with a kind owner that enjoys spending time with him . he does not form new connections easily , but when he does bond to his caretaker or rider , it is very strong . in fact , he will prefer being with his ‘person’ over being with another horse . this trait is wonderful to see in a horse because they become so very loyal to their person .

cars in general have become more reliable over the years . yet there are some models that just seem to keep rolling along , whistling past the junkyard . pinpointing exactly how many miles , on average , any given model has racked up is virtually impossible , but we ' ve identified 15 cars with exceptional—sometimes surprising—endurance and value .
we bet you’ve seen one of these still cruising the highway recently . oh , and if you’re wondering where your beloved ford f - 150 or other truck is , note that we skipped traditional trucks altogether . trucks are supposed to last forever .
( editor ' s note : the author has owned a couple of these cars , and he teased a full 15 years out of a vw passat , a model that , unlike the cars featured here , has a bit of a death wish . )
here’s a wager : next time you’re out for a spin , watch for a nondescript , tan or silver four - door . good chance it’s a honda accord .
combine reliability and best - selling status—a true virtuous cycle—and you get ubiquity . exactly what it is about honda that provides such durability is the subject of much debate ( and much corporate envy / espionage involving honda’s design and manufacturing processes ) . but surely some of it has to do with the fact that honda motor company puts its engines and engineering first . look up honda accord in consumer reports ' ratings and you will see a sea of red dots that indicate owners have darn few problems with these cars .
the smaller honda civic shares much of the quality but is more likely to be modified by its owners to look flashier and run louder , with maintenance simultaneously neglected . so the accord gets our nod .
behold the last of the big american station wagons . this general motors behemoth offers an appealing combination of reliable , modern ( ish ) technology and retro looks .
in the later years of its production , the roadmaster was armed with a honking 5 . 7 - liter v8 closely related to the chevy corvette’s to move all that mass . rear - facing third - row seats , wood paneling on the sides , shifter on the steering column—all the elements of the great american wagon are there . you can even squeeze a third passenger up front if the ruckus in back gets too loud . “cheap to insure , ” says kevin cullinane of bethesda , md . , who has owned two of these big boys as well as a lot of other older american iron , and “parts are cheap and plentiful . ” with a gentle foot on the gas , cullinane gets 17 miles per gallon in town , and 23 to 24 mpg on the highway . “quite a feat for a car this weight and size , ” he says .
the wagons seem to have outlasted their mechanically identical sedan brethren , such as the bulbous chevy caprice that was a fixture of police and taxi fleets in the 1990s . lower - stress suburban living may be the reason . closely related but scarcer : the chevy impala wagon and oldsmobile custom cruiser .
the geo prizm is one of a number of vehicles that have at their core one of the most reliable cars ever : the toyota corolla . but while the corolla’s longevity goes unremarked , the prizm and its stable - mates cause head - scratching as they soldier on into their second or even third decade : what is that thing ? how is it still running ?
this corolla clone ( marketed as a chevrolet at one point ) also appeared as the chevy nova ( 1984 - 1988 ) and the pontiac vibe ( 2002 - 2010 ) . all of these cars were the product of a toyota - gm joint venture called nummi , a fremont , calif . factory that built nearly 8 million vehicles of toyota’s basic design before it closed down in 2010 . these were the first toyotas assembled in the u . s . , and the story of how this location’s jaded united auto workers workforce learned the “toyota way” and turned out cars just as good as the ones built in japan is a fascinating one ( you can listen to it in an episode of the public radio show “this american life” ) .
