“Nashwan, trained by Major Dick Hern, arrives back at his West Ilsley stables after winning the Derby on Wednesday night.” – Vintage Photograph

On Wednesday, June 7th 1989, Nashwan, a three-year-old colt trained by Major Dick Hern at his West Ilsley stables, was welcomed home after winning the Derby. Stable lads and staff gave the horse a big cheer as they celebrated what they considered his inevitable victory. Nashwan was ridden by Willie Carson and was the third Derby winner for the wheelchair-bound Major Hern. His win made one of the stable lads, Jonathan Lake, happier by around 25,000, as Lake had placed a double bet on the 2,000 Guineas and the Derby. Michael Moseley, a stable lad, praised Nashwan and likened him to Nijinsky, the legendary Derby winner of nearly 20 years ago.On Wednesday, June 7th 1989, Nashwan, a three-year-old colt trained by Major Dick Hern at his West Ilsley stables, was welcomed home after winning the Derby.

Stable lads and staff gave the three- year-old colt a big cheer as he arrived back at the stable on Wednesday night, three hours after his race. They had been celebrating what they considered his inevitable victory all day long. Nashwan, pictured with stable lad Alan Thimbleby, was trained by Royal horse trainer Major Dick Hern at his West Ilsley stables. 1980 And he made one of the stable lads happier by about 25,000, after a double bet on the 2,000 Guineas and the Derby came up trumps. Back in November Jonathan Lake put his money on Nash- wan to win both races- but on Wednes- day night colleagues said Jonathan was in no fit state to talk to reporters. Another lad, Michael Moseley, was full of praise for the horse he likened to Nijinsky, the legendary Derby winner of nearly 20 years ago. “He’s the perfect horse, there is only one a decade, and he is it.” “He’s relaxed and got the right tem- perament and attitude for racing, nothing will bother him,” he said. The short odds offered on Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s Nashwan, meant he was not a great money spinner for the average punter. Jed Cafferty, who helps his girlfriend, landlady Heather Humphreys at village pub, The Harrow, broke Nashwan in. He knew the horse was the best, but ad- mitted he was not a betting man. The horse ridden by Willie Carson was the third Derby winner for the wheel- chair-bound Major Hern. Capfok wwoox $15 JUN 1989 NGH
