p
GLIN BRIDGE: The outstanding stayer of his generation with the ability to win from any trap at all types of tracks.
p
BONZO: The George Curtis-trained star, who dethroned title-holder Westmead Champ in the 1977 Regency final at Hove, was right out of the top drawer over six and eight bends.
p
BALLYREGAN BOB: The greatest stayer ever to set foot on a racecourse and he set a new world record of 32 consecutive wins.
p
SHOTGUN BULLET: Derek Knight's star completed a magnificent undefeated romp through the 2018 Ladbroke Golden Jacket (714 metres) at Crayford.
p
MILLWARDS TEDDY (pictured with Carly Philpott and Melissa Solkhon): He produced a multitude of outstanding performances against the very best six-bend talent in the land and was absolutely pure class.
