Hi Bullfrog
My mothers uncle was a groom at a Bedfordshire racing stable. When a new yearling came along it was named after baby Ruby SO RUBIO
It didnt show much promise so the owner hired it out to the Station Hotel at Towcester where it was the luggage carthorse.
This did it a power of good so it went back to training AND Won the DERBY (forget the year)
Thanks for the post.
Nearly took on the parish of Helmdon, Syresham,etc (Awkward on Silverstone weekends)
All the best
Thea
