May 25th 1965 – Results from the Evening Meeting at Ally Pally

A short priced double for Lester Piggott and Sam Armstrong in the first and fifth races. Bill Jesse, a George Todd apprentice claiming 5lbs allowance wins the seller on Ightham. In the third race, an Apprentice H’cap, the sprinter Lucasland trained by Jack Watts won... Lucasland went on to win the July Cup and Diadem Stakes and was second in the Nunthorpe in 1966. There was a two-pronged attack on the fourth race by John Meacock, he ran both Zardarkuh and Kavar-Ul-Mulk in the one mile 5 furlong maiden H’cap... The heavily bandaged Kavar-Ul-Mulk started slowly and finished unplaced but his other runner Zardarkuh came with a storming late run under David East to win by ¾ of a length. The last race was won by an old favourite, Atty Corbett’s Colour Blind who made all under Bobby Elliott. I can well remember Larry Wargen winning a few races on that old horse.

  1. Double carpet for Meacock- seems about right! Wow, what a result. I like the "+ few yards" in the distance - probably that was what did it for David East...
