We can still dream,remember J J The Jet Plane...
Toast Of New York was a pretty cheap purchase £40 000 has gone on to earn £1.4m (r25m) and has now been sold to Frankie Dettori`s bosses for a reputed £5m( r90m)
To think his first race was was a well beaten 5th of 10 in a lowly Leicester maiden (66/1) ,he then reverted to allweather racing where he finished 2nd at Kempton before going on to win a maiden at Wolverhampton earning his connections £2k.
He returned to Wolverhampton 6 weeks later winning a 1400m race by an incredible 16L ( VIDEO BELOW ) now the dreams started
The connections then made the ambitious decision to send the horse over to Dubai and the next time we seen him was on World Cup night running in the UAE Derby,which he stormed through to win under regular rider Jamie Spencer
He then went stateside running down the field on his debut before finishing 2nd in a grade1 at Belmont to the wonder horse Shared Belief.
Undoubtly the biggest race of his career was going down a nose in the Breeders Cup Classic to another star in Bayern, being hampered in the closing stages( the dedision not to award him the race still baffles many experts )
Massive runner come world cup finals night!!!
