Wolver Hollow

A career spanning four seasons established him as a good racehorse, his greatest win coming in the Group One Eclipse Stakes in 1969.

[8] Wolver Hollow was unplaced at Kempton before rounding off the season finishing fourth of thirteen starters in the Dewhurst Stakes behind subsequent English and Irish Derby third Dart Board.

Finishing third by a neck and a head, this was the closest he had come to shedding his maiden tag in an unremarkable Guineas trial at the time.

[10] Returning to Royal Ascot, Wolver Hollow finished just under a length and a half fourth in the St James's Palace Stakes.

[12] After stepping down in class a month later, Wolver Hollow lost his maiden tag in the ten-furlong Virginia Stakes at Newcastle.

[28] Wolver Hollow's penultimate start came at Royal Ascot in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, where he was ridden by Lester Piggott for the first time.

[30] Wolver Hollow's final start, and greatest success, came in the Eclipse Stakes, in which he was the last horse to carry his owner's colours.

[31] Of the seven runners at Sandown, Light Wind had won that season's Premio Presidente della Repubblica, Hogarth the 1968 Derby Italiano and Timmy My Boy was runner-up in that year's French Derby; Royal Rocket was third in the Coronation Stakes, while while sole three-year-old Rocked had finished third in the Greenham Stakes.

[33] The form was franked when Park Top subsequently won the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

[34] Through a friendship between Boyd-Rochfort and Billy Iceton, Wolver Hollow spent his latter breeding career at Tara Stud in County Meath.

Wolver Hollow was also the damsire of several useful National Hunt horses such as Simply Dashing, a high-class handicap chaser who finished second in the Charlie Hall Chase of 1992, Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle winner Thetford Forest and useful handicapper Latent Talent.
