Mister Baileys- The 1994 2000 Guineas Stakes (Newmarket) [02:12]
Mister Baileys (1991--2009) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from June 1993 to July 1994 he ran nine times and won four races. After winning the Vintage Stakes and the Royal Lodge Stakes as a two-year-old, he became the first Northern-trained Classic winner for seventeen years when he won the 2000 Guineas in record time on his three-year-old debut. Here Jockey Jason Weaver secures victory for Mister Baileys in the 1994 2000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket. The horse was trained by Mark Johnston and owned by GR Bailey Ltd.

Part 2: Eliza takes us through her Cheltenham Festival fancies Thursday & Gold Cup day [03:55]
My fancies for day three and four of the 2012 Cheltenham Festival. I am dressed like this because I have just modelled for a 1940's pin up painting ; see the results on my blog. Also I review some 1940s and 50s horse racing movies with great vintage style that could be inspiration for a day at the races...
