Racing Memorabilia from my late Father – the 1950s

Craven Plate Day 1952

A message from Graham Caves

Your father has marked the result Tarien first, Triclinium second and Iroquois third. All correct but some weeks later all hell broke loose when Tarien, trained by Tommy Smith was disqualified for an irregular doping result. She was the first winner of a major race to lose it for a positive dope test. Triclinium at 100/1 became the winner.
