You have to go back a long way but I'm fairly sure Nortons Coin was beaten in a handicap chase at the 1989 festival before landing the 1990 Gold Cup...

The previous year he was second in the Cathcart beaten 8 lengths by Observer Corps. But it wasn't a handicap.

It was the first (and last) time Hywel Davies rode the horse and Sirrell Griffiths was adamant he gave him too much to do.

I think he ran in the Cathcart Chase in 89. The 2 1/2 miler for 1st & 2nd season chasers. Think he was placed behind 66/1 shot Observer Corps but nowhere near 100%on this. Think Pipe might have had an odds on fave.

Racing post reports tonight that Bob is being treated for a torn muscle so that’s got to be him done for the season

What do you think the prognosis is for such an injury? Is this a minor or major?

Would say minor going by this article but I still think he is out for the season, no pointing risking his future
