Forgive me for seeking such obscure horse racing information but I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. My uncle drew a horse in the Irish Sweepstake which ran in the Epsom Derby and finished third. He won a lot of money as a result. I am now writing an article on the event but cannot find the year of the race. The name of the horse was Shantung - a french horse. It was the Derby of 1959, 1960 or 1961. I have tried all the usual websites i.e. Epsom derby, google etc but all list winners only. Can anybody help?
