I would be with Dr Who and go with Garth Puller, but as for Scotia's question, you've got me there! Let me take a wild guess and suggest that a jockey named Houdalakis was involved in there somewhere....!!

Here's one for you. Who was the last person to have ridden a Derby winner ( Epsom Derby) and who weighed out at more than 90 kgs on the day he did so.

Gajima - would this be Lester Piggott's cellmate again...?

mickeyblue, that could be the late Alan Gordon, who went from being an apprentice jockey to a trainer and back to an apprentice jockey again?

It's still a good one, Gajima! Had be completely floored when Scotia asked the question, I don't think even showjumping "Derby" winners weigh that much!

That's interesting, mickeyblue. Are you much involved in racing?
