Question

What horses won the royal hunt cup at ascot in !957/58/59?

Answer 1

You want Cope's Racegoers Encyclopaedia mate.

Ebay may have one, or trot along (ho ho) to Amazon.

Anyway, after a lot of hard searching, here are the results:

1957: Zarathustra

1958: Amos

1959: Faultless Speech

Edit: After a Stewards Enquiry, you're right mysilv, I didn't read that link on aceinfo correctly, the 1957 Royal Hunt Cup was won by Retrial...

And I searched for ages too.

Bugger!!

Oh well, no cheating, I have standards to maintain. *lol*

Answer 3

Zarathrustra won the Ascot Gold Cup in 1957.

Royal Hunt Cup:

1957 Retrial

by Court Martial won at 100/7 ridden by P. Robinson, trained by Cpt. Boyd-Rochfort owned by Lady Wernher.

1958 Amos    

by Mossborough at 20/1 ridden by P. Boothman, trained by S. Mercer owned by L Carver.

1959 Faultless Speech

by Impeccable at 8/1 ridden by Geoff Lewis and owned and trained by H. Wallington

Edit:  Sir Richard you are let off with a brief suspension to go out and purchase yourself a good racing book,

Mine has about 400 pages of info solely about Ascot through the ages and at the back the result of every race run there since 1948.  

The links you gave give great information but don't give up the day job, your a good sport.  Jacqui xx
