Mill Reef
As a yearling Mill Reef showed himself to be an exceptional talent. Once, whilst visiting the stables and watching the yearlings being put through their paces on the Kingsclere gallops, the noted former amateur jockey and journalist Lord Oaksey asked, "Who's that?" to which Balding replied, ""That" is Mill Reef!" and he went on to prove himself to be an outstanding two year old in 1970.
