Racing Memories: Diminuendo – Epsom Oaks 1988

It doesn’t seem like over 20 years have passed since this race. I remember Diminuedo vividly, and always always astounded by her class, especially considering she was only a small horse. The way she burst clear from the rest of the field coming down the hill was amazing. She still remains my favourite filly of all time.

 

This video also brings back memories of the great Steve Cauthen, and the days when Sheikh Mohammed’s colours were numerous in the years before Godolphin.
