Racing TV published this video item, entitled “Ageless and irrepressible, 10-year-old PERSIAN PUNCH brings the house down in the 2003 Goodwood Cup” – below is their description.
What a battle, what a horse! Persian Punch denies 2002 winner Jardine’s Lookout to take the 2003 Goodwood Cup, his second success in the race.
After the win, Martin Dwyer brought his mount – the oldest winner in the race’s 191-year history – back in front of the packed stands to huge cheers.
It was the gelding’s sixth run in the race and Persian Punch’s owner Jeff Smith said: “He is just the most extraordinary animal I think I’ve ever seen. I’ve run out of words and superlatives really.”
The old warrior lost his life the following year at Ascot, but his ashes were scattered on the downs at Goodwood and a plaque placed on the track to mark his popularity with the racegoers there.
