Talk:Solford

Comment
I've given this a C as I don't think there's much else to be said. The early eighties were a peak of the "too good to race" era when a lot of good colts didn't race past the summer of their three-year-old season. It was all about the economics: the most valuable race open to four-year-old in Britain was the King George, worth around £130,000 when well-bred yearlings were going for ten times that amount. Solford recouped about 10% of his purchase price on the racecourse.  Tigerboy1966  19:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
