REMEMBER Tamure, the son of Sadler’s Wells (Northern Dancer) who was runner-up to Lammtarra in the 1995 Derby at Epsom? You will be forgiven if you don’t, but his name was popping up quite a bit last weekend.

Originally raced by Sheikh Mohammed and trained by John Gosden, Tamure’s runner-up finish in the Derby, with Presenting back in third, was the highlight of a racing career that spanned four seasons, two trainers, John Gosden and Luca Cumani, 17 starts and five wins. Though be stood for many years as a National Hunt sire in England, he was poorly supported and, hence, is largely forgotten.
