Umrum was one of the gutsiest horses to race in recent memory. He raced on Toorak handicap/caufield guineas day 6 years in a row. He won two tooraks one at 40/1(thank you) and placed in another two. was placed behind greats like tie the knot, sunline, easy rocking(in the salinger beaten a lip after winning the toorak his previous start). He was an absolute certainty beaten behind Mr Murphy in a dubai R.C he also beat Gold Guru/. This horse was tough and talented. he just kept going around an running great races. He hardly ever ran a bad race, if he did he either ran a beauty his next start or he went out for a spell.

That is why this unheralded topliner is one of my favourites just behind the immortal equine champion Northerly.

cheers
