THE last eight-year-old to win the Sky Bet Ebor? It’s a bit like the last 10-year-old to win the Champion Hurdle. Sea Pigeon, except that he wasn’t a 10-year-old when he won his last Champion Hurdle, he was an 11-year-old.

Same answer. Sea Pigeon.(See above.) Except that he wasn’t an eight-year-old when he won the Ebor, he was a nine-year-old.
