@flimper1 Zilzal is one of my favourite ever racehorses as well. It's a real shame that he was retired after only 6 races. Distant Relative was one of the top milers in the following 1990 season with wins in the Sussex Stakes & the Prix du Moulin. He was a good horse but Zilzal was vastly superior to him so surely he would have totally dominated the mile races in 1990 had he stayed in training. I think because of his very short race career and poor stud career he gets forgotten about.
Zilzal, my all time favourite horse, got goose bumps watching this. Thanks for taking time to put this up.
