Nashwans half brother and one of the best horses never to win a group one, he would have been a very good four year old until injury cut his career short, thanks for uploading.
Still to this day I am mystified what happened in the Derby, because Unfuwain proved subsequently that he was by far the best horse in the Derby. Routed good class opposition here, was a very good 2nd in the King George to Mtoto and then 4th in the Arc when he was the first 3 year old to finish. In fact after the Derby he wasn't beaten by a horse of his own generation.
@sleeplessinsale I think Carson was swayed to ride Minister Son because he bred him. He would go on to win the St Leger later in the season. Unfuwain was a very good colt and should of won a Group 1. Like you say, no explanation given for his poor showing in the Derby and then he comes out and does this.
@@MEECHIO Maybe he just didn't handle the track under different conditions and with a large number of horses, but there's no doubt that he was one of the best horses never to win at the highest level.
@@MEECHIO his back was injured. He did win a trial at Epsom but it was against very mediocre opposition even then at a slower pace he didnt handle Tattenham Corner and din't handle Chester either even tho he won by 15l
This was his return to the track after he was injured in the Derby. God knows why they ran him in the Epsom Derby as he had run there before and clearly didnt act on the course. He should have by passed Epsom and been aimed at the Irish Derby IMO
this horse was top class , w carson was a fantastic jockey

Agree, especially as he had already proven he handled Epsom with a runaway win in the trial there

@@chrisarkwright1313 I have the Trial on video and he never handled Tattenham Corner at all.
Brilliant horse ..underrated..beautiful
Once again Willie Carson at his very best Willie won the race and he made sure that he won with plenty in hand a

Do you have the 1987 Royal Lodge won by Sanquirico from undercut and Emmson?
Uploaded.
Have you London Gold Cup won by Billet in late 1980s please buddy?.Keep up good work.
No, Newbury's Saturday card usually clashed with the FA Cup final and wasn't broadcast.
Remember this horse unlucky not to win Group 1.
So true, sad really when lesser horse have achieved a win at top level.

I believe Unfuwain won very easily when he ran at Epsom, it was a Derby trial.
@@nightowl7459 He won by 15 but everyone could see he didn't handle Tattenham Corner at all and he was racing against nothing really.
@@frankschlanker True, looking at this video it's hard to believe he ran so badly at Epsom.
