The Grand Prix de Paris on Sunday is over 4150m!
In the old days of the Showgrounds I can remember having a favourite stayer named Ercildale for when the distance got up to (over?) 2miles. He was no champ but he was a good each way bet as he could go all day. I cannot remember for sure how far the longest races were. I have a recollection that one of the long ones was The Italian Cup.
Anybody remember any other 'stayers'
