desert ohrcid is the best horse you could possible no

@tobin2 I remember backing Oregon Trail when he won one of the Gold Cup races around that time. That must have been the one. And you're right, he could have had a good future.

it's not that often you see a Gold Cup winner and a Champion Hurdler in the same race.

Oregon Trail went on to win the Massey Ferguson Gold Cup the following season but got injured in a race at Leopardstown what a pity he looked a promising horse.

@vania1013 Thats horrendous if true he deserved much better and died at such at young age and in agony from colic.

Early that season Dessie stuffed Charcoal Wally by over 12l at Ascot. It just shows how inconvenienced he was going left handed...must be 20lb inferior to his right handed form.

@foriamonlyahorse11 Yes he did and also beat him round Exeter on his debut over fencesthat season which had followed close on the heals of him falling 2 out in the Captain Quist hurdle at Kempton when a clear leader. Also earlier that year he had made a very belated flat debut aged 7 when unplaced in the group 3 Sagaro Stakes at Sandownin 1985 behind the smart Longboat. If anyone out there has that race id love to hear from you.
