Well this should be interesting.

Your horse won two times in England, and I don't know what you could get from over there even if you made all of the right contacts.

(it might be just fine, just that I don't know ahead of time)

His first win was on January 1, 1997 at Southwell, England, going 1 mile on the turf (warning flash about the quality of turf racing in that country on January 1 of any year)

Second win was even more obscure. May 16, 1998 at "Bangor-on-Dee" England (don't ask).

That was in a steeplechase race over 2 miles and 1 furlong. Your now 11 year old horse liked those jumping races of 2 miles or more.

You need more help than we can give, but maybe we got you started with something.

Good luck, and maybe let us know if any results come of your searches for winner's circle ceremony photos from over there.
