Depend on the distant and even then Legal light was better, he was the top weight carrier in A class against very stiff oppositions in his era. Dont forget Eros,the only horse that ever owned 3? track record at Caymanas park, couldve been 4 if his stable companion Milligram beaten him in a desperate finished to wire in a Guiness mile race.
Those who are tempted to underrate Winston Griffith..... carefully study the ride on the Bomber in winning that derby..... that horse won a five straight maiden race 2 weeks before the derby.... Griffith used her PACE to win that derby.... excellent judge of pace.... that was his greatest strength....he used it to win many many races
32 years later and after watching this race over and over, i can say that the Viceroy was the better horse that day and i don't think Milligram could have won.
I Shall Return and Spectacular One..George magician Hosang vs Emelio bimbo Rodriguez that's what you called bringing the house down..actually that day the house came tearing down .
i shall return was the better horse at that journey of 6 furlong spectacular one was a stayer i gave bimbo credit to actually let spectacular sprint that day after they past the post on their way back to the enclosure george hosang shake bimbo hand i have that picture.
Yeah for sure as it was what the crowd came to see Bimbo vs Georgie and boy that finish was one for the ages and it will always be talked about even for the next 100 years. And I was privileged to be there on that monumental occasion.
Legal Light , Reca. David Sta,r Taa wee, Effectual Nomad, Prince Zalair and of course the might Eros.......Sir Winston Fanna Griffiths produced some splendid ride on those horses
Yes George Hosang gave Winston Griffiths some race riding lessons Milligram was coming to pass the Viceroy so Hosang lessen the reins so The Viceroy came right over to Milligram so his presence so close to his stable companion cause a distraction to Milligram and let him lose his running pattern and that was the key a brilliant ride from Hosang
If Fanna had gone on to gain international experience and learning to use his left hand then i believe he would have been ranked among the best in the world
It was legal light (winston griffiths) that won the first superstakes in 1978, beating arizona with neville anderson aboard. mento maid with derrick ramgeet won the following year, defeating deep river with parnell linton.
Legal Light won the first Red Stripe Super stake Mento maid the second Thunder Bird the third Legal Light the fourth Kaz Hoshay the fifth Sir Howard the sixth War Fare seventh D's A legend the eight

Viceroy was unbeaten as 3 Year old too and only lost about two races as 4 year old against better quality opponents than she is a man-eater ran against and viceroy could spring as well he defeated the top sprinter in 1990

Not only on the day....but Viceroy was easily a better horse than Milligram....Viceroy was rated in the top 3 horses to run at Caymanas Park....arguably the best horse....Milligram was never even in the top 20!
Let me ask you this Ray Ray, how long have you been following horse racing at Cayamanas Park!? I hope it's not from the 80's, because if that is indeed the case, then you don't know nothing about George HoSang. Hubert 'Chinna' Bartley was one of my favorite riders, he's very skilled, and knows what it takes to win races. But George HoSang cuts from a different kind of ilk. He has no equal, and one who you could aptly described as an exceptional reign's man. Do you have any memories of two occasion that HoSang visited the park? Do you remember that epic battle with Hosang on "I Shall Return" and "Bimbo" aboard "Spectacular One". Or HoSang astride "The Viceroy" vs "Fandangles" on "Milligram". I don't have to remind you how they both turned out. Do you remember the times when trainer Phillip Feanny was having all sorts of problems with his ace sprinter Eros negotiating the home turn. And because he (Eros) was always going wide, he ended up losing his races. Di traina affi send fi di master of the pigskin to sort out Eros, and sort out he was. He took a copy book turn in a 1200m feature race, literally scraping paint so to speak and winning by some 10 length. Those are some of the a fore mentioned reasons, why I declared that George "Rat Sam Bat" HoSang is the greatest jockey Jamaica has ever produced, full stop!!
AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS ME YOU REPLYING TO OR THE OTHER PERSON I CONCUR WITH YOU IN SOME WAYS YES HUBERT BARTLEY IS YOUR FAVORITE RIDER AND THATS IS YOUR OPINION,I HAVE BEEN IN RACING SINCE 1972 I HAVE SEEN SOME GREAT THINGS BUT FOR ME EMEILIO BIMBO IS MY FAVORITE JOCKEY THE ONLY JOCKEY IN HISTORY THAT HAVE THE BIGGEST FANS CLUB THE PEOPLES CHAMPION YES I GIVE CREDIT TO GEORGE HOSANG BUT BIMBO I THINK IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH HOSANG ALL THOSE RACE YOU MENTION I WAS AT CAYMANAS PARK I EVEN HAVE A PICTURE OF I SHALL RETURN AND SPECTACULAR ONE AT THE END OF THE RACE GEORGE HOSANG CONGRATULATE BIMBO HE GOES AS FAR AND SHAKE BIMBO HAND BECAUSE SPECTACULAR ONE WAS KNOWN STAYER AND HOSANG CANNOT BELIEVED HOW BIMBO HAVE THIS HORSE FLYING GOING 6 FURLONG YEA I EVEN HAVE THE NEWS PAPAER CLIPPINGS THE HOUSE WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO SEE THE 2 MASTER AT WORK THEY LOCK UP FOR AL MOST 3 FURLONG I SHALL RETURN WAS THE BETTER HORSE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT.
I like your piece Carlton Eyre, and everything is quite debatable. However, let me hasten to say that I've been around in the racing circles from Richard DePass, Charles Hussey, George HoSang, Emelio Rodriques, Winston Griffiths, Neville Anderson etc were bug riders (apprentices) so, needless to say what years we talking 'bout. Frankly speaking, there is no doubt that 'Bimbo' is an excellent rider, in fact HoSang confesses after that said race that, he'll always have to be at his 'A' game when he visits the park, because 'Bimbo' is not an ordinary jockey. And there's no two ways as to who has the largest fan base at the park, in spite of the exploits and achievements of 'Fanny' Emelio Rodriques will always remains the people's champion. When all is said and done, George HoSang is the greatest Jamaican reign's man. You noticed up 'til now I don't tell you whether I'm a HoSang fan, because I'm not. But when we see greatness, we just can't ignore it. As a human being, we all have our biases, and I'm no exception. In the early days Kenneth Mattis was my favorite jockey. right up until he retired in 1969 because of recurring weight problems, and make that transition to one of the finest trainers we ever have. Mattis in his hay days use to contend with the best of his kind. The likes of Author 'Daddy' Jones, Trevor McKenzie, David 'Scorter' McKenzie, Winston Ellis, Donald Andrade just to name a few. It is well documented that Mattis is, if not the only racing personnel to have made that transition from a successful jockey to eight (8) time champion trainer. We'll talk again.
These horses now are nothing special, once in a while a good one come along but never lasted. The quality food and nutrition these horses get,they should run alot better. I really enjoyed these long time races
Fanna won that race easily but they wanted George hosang to win his late great race at caymanas pk . Great business.. if milligram had won he would have had 11 str8 wins + 1 mil.. dead even favorites 🤣.. but fanna won from a furlong out..
The careers of the 2 horses proved that viceroy was a better stayer.... milligram is a genuine middle distance horse..... further more viceroy is a more gutsy horse.... look at thier breeding
George HoSang the greatest ever Jamaican jockey in my opinion. I am from Westmoreland I have seen Winston Giffiths personally I wouldn't say we are friends but I know where in Westmoreland he originated. But having said all a dat. George Hosang was better.
Wayne Anthony it wasnt the brilliance of Fanna why the bomber won the derby it was the carelessness of Trevor simpson that cost Rum talk and Phillip Feanny that derby what happened in the st ledger Hussey rode Rum talk went with the bomber and left the bomber standing careless ride by slicer that made him the only champion jockey to have never won a derby
Andrew Spence you are absolutely wrong about that. Sheer Joy who's by Element out of Beauty was first trained by Allan 'Billy' Williams. When Billy migrated - Sheer Joy was put in the care of Norman Palmer, and NOT Paul Newman.
True man if he had jus went off the same time viceroy pass the grey horse the race woulda b different memba that, no matter how them wah say viceroy bad 👍
Viceroy is the best horse to grace caymanas park. Sir Hosang is the greatest jockey I have ever seen in real life no doubt. Put any other horse and jockey in that race would lose
I witnessed Bimbo aboard Spectacular One inviting Hosang aboard I Shall Return on the inside rails to put on a show down the straight for the racing public and boy was it a show for the ages. This is what you called bringing the house down actually the house was blown down .I Shall Return by a head..Both jockeys celebrated while returning to the winners enclosure by holding hands in the air
George Hosang taught Winston Griffiths a lesson in riding.. Griffiths was there whipping his horse.. while Hosang was pushing his horse with his hands and heels..you see the difference with a great jockey compare to a ordinary jockey?
The better horse won the race that day.....not the jockey....The Viceroy is rated as one of the top 3 horses at Caymanas Park ( Many would easily argue that he is the best)....Milligram is not even rated in the top 20!
@@bugsy791 I think you should forgive him for referring to Griffiths as an "ordinary jockey" .....thats a comment from an obvious NOVICE and a FOOL to horse racing in Jamaica.....Anyone who knows even a little about horse racing in Jamaica could never in thier right mind regard the Caribbean's Leading All Time Reader; A five time champion jockey; The jockey that wins the most classic races; The jockey that wins the most Superstakes Races and a jockey who has received the National honour of OD; a jockey so accomplished that a race is run in his honour....and these are only some of his many outstanding achivements....Anyone who regards such jockey as ordinary is nothing but a LIVING LUNATIC!

@@kenlarthompson6011 thanks man
George Joseph HoSang is indeed the greatest we've ever produced, no doubt about that!!
CHINNA BARTLEY WAS A GOOD JOCKEY BUT NOT JAMAICAS GREATEST THE HISTORY IS THERE TO SEE.
Let me ask you this Ray Ray, how long have you been following horse racing at Cayamanas Park!? I hope it's not from the 80's, because if that is indeed the case, then you don't know nothing about George HoSang. Hubert 'Chinna' Bartley was one of my favorite riders, he's very skilled, and knows what it takes to win races. But George HoSang cuts from a different kind of ilk. He has no equal, and one who you could aptly described as an exceptional reign's man.
Do you have any memories of two occasion that HoSang visited the park? Do you remember that epic battle with Hosang on "I Shall Return" and "Bimbo" aboard "Spectacular One". Or HoSang astride "The Viceroy" vs "Fandangles" on "Milligram". I don't have to remind you how they both turned out.
Do you remember the times when trainer Phillip Feanny was having all sorts of problems with his ace sprinter Eros negotiating the home turn. And because he (Eros) was always going wide, he ended up losing his races. Di traina affi send fi di master of the pigskin to sort out Eros, and sort out he was. He took a copy book turn in a 1200m feature race, literally scraping paint so to speak and winning by some 10 length.
Those are some of the a fore mentioned reasons, why I declared that George "Rat Sam Bat" HoSang is the greatest jockey Jamaica has ever produced, full stop!!
AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS ME YOU REPLYING TO OR THE OTHER PERSON I CONCUR WITH YOU IN SOME WAYS YES HUBERT BARTLEY IS YOUR FAVORITE RIDER AND THATS IS YOUR OPINION,I HAVE BEEN IN RACING SINCE 1972 I HAVE SEEN SOME GREAT THINGS BUT FOR ME EMEILIO BIMBO IS MY FAVORITE JOCKEY THE ONLY JOCKEY IN HISTORY THAT HAVE THE BIGGEST FANS CLUB THE PEOPLES CHAMPION YES I GIVE CREDIT TO GEORGE HOSANG BUT BIMBO I THINK IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH HOSANG ALL THOSE RACE YOU MENTION I WAS AT CAYMANAS PARK I EVEN HAVE A PICTURE OF I SHALL RETURN AND SPECTACULAR ONE AT THE END OF THE RACE GEORGE HOSANG CONGRATULATE BIMBO HE GOES AS FAR AND SHAKE BIMBO HAND BECAUSE SPECTACULAR ONE WAS KNOWN STAYER AND HOSANG CANNOT BELIEVED HOW BIMBO HAVE THIS HORSE FLYING GOING 6 FURLONG YEA I EVEN HAVE THE NEWS PAPAER CLIPPINGS THE HOUSE WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO SEE THE 2 MASTER AT WORK THEY LOCK UP FOR AL MOST 3 FURLONG I SHALL RETURN WAS THE BETTER HORSE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT.
OK I SEE THAT IS WAS RAY RAY YOU WAS REPLYING TO
I like your piece Carlton Eyre, and everything is quite debatable. However, let me hasten to say that I've been around in the racing circles from Richard DePass, Charles Hussey, George HoSang, Emelio Rodriques, Winston Griffiths, Neville Anderson etc were bug riders (apprentices) so, needless to say what years we talking 'bout.
Frankly speaking, there is no doubt that 'Bimbo' is an excellent rider, in fact HoSang confesses after that said race that, he'll always have to be at his 'A' game when he visits the park, because 'Bimbo' is not an ordinary jockey. And there's no two ways as to who has the largest fan base at the park, in spite of the exploits and achievements of 'Fanny' Emelio Rodriques will always remains the people's champion. When all is said and done, George HoSang is the greatest Jamaican reign's man. You noticed up 'til now I don't tell you whether I'm a HoSang fan, because I'm not. But when we see greatness, we just can't ignore it.
As a human being, we all have our biases, and I'm no exception. In the early days Kenneth Mattis was my favorite jockey. right up until he retired in 1969 because of recurring weight problems, and make that transition to one of the finest trainers we ever have. Mattis in his hay days use to contend with the best of his kind. The likes of Author 'Daddy' Jones, Trevor McKenzie, David 'Scorter' McKenzie, Winston Ellis, Donald Andrade just to name a few. It is well documented that Mattis is, if not the only racing personnel to have made that transition from a successful jockey to eight (8) time champion trainer. We'll talk again.
IS THERE ANY VIDEO OF EROS WINNING THE GOLD CUP
Next one of my favorite 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hands alone horse that, jockey dont need a wip
raceing nu nice like one time a pure thife da a track
Wasn't the first four past the post trained by Feanny?
These horses now are nothing special, once in a while a good one come along but never lasted. The quality food and nutrition these horses get,they should run alot better. I really enjoyed these long time races
Fanna won that race easily but they wanted George hosang to win his late great race at caymanas pk . Great business.. if milligram had won he would have had 11 str8 wins + 1 mil.. dead even favorites 🤣.. but fanna won from a furlong out..
What abt the mighty eros?
Feanny said Eros was the best that he had trained.
Orient express win alot of money by running many seconds. Was unlucky but nice horse
One of the biggest one pacer horse to run at Caymanas Park..... always finishing strong but not passing the last horse!
Can somebody tell me how i can watch the 1996 jamaica derby plz
What about Mr Lover Lover,26 Dec 1996,The Jamaica 2yo stakes,Emilio , wonderful
Winston Fanna Griffiths is the greatest. .....The Viceroy is the better horse
Andrew Spence . The viceroy was much the better horse
Sorry fellas George Hosang is jamaicas greatest jockey ever, no if or buts about it.hands down. I'm quite sure Rodriques and Griffith would agree.
The careers of the 2 horses proved that viceroy was a better stayer.... milligram is a genuine middle distance horse..... further more viceroy is a more gutsy horse.... look at thier breeding
Mento maid win the second running of the Red stripes superstake win Derrick Rangeet
George HoSang the greatest ever Jamaican jockey in my opinion. I am from Westmoreland I have seen Winston Giffiths personally I wouldn't say we are friends but I know where in Westmoreland he originated. But having said all a dat. George Hosang was better.
Wayne Anthony it wasnt the brilliance of Fanna why the bomber won the derby it was the carelessness of Trevor simpson that cost Rum talk and Phillip Feanny that derby what happened in the st ledger Hussey rode Rum talk went with the bomber and left the bomber standing careless ride by slicer that made him the only champion jockey to have never won a derby
He did the same with Ressless Glen
Fanna have Bimbo ticket in most of the classic races...... Ricochet beating Forceful Native .......Royal Dad beating May Day boy
Andrew Spence who was the trainer for Indian Flame, Arizona and sheer Joy
Claudette Robinson Arthur Sharpe used to trained Indian Flame......Paul Newman used to trained Sheer Joy
Paul Newman used to trained Arizona too
Andrew Spence you are absolutely wrong about that. Sheer Joy who's by Element out of Beauty was first trained by Allan 'Billy' Williams. When Billy migrated - Sheer Joy was put in the care of Norman Palmer, and NOT Paul Newman.
@@errolhobson6072 yep, that too tall former "cur" jockey Norman palmer.
classic race
anthony powell who was the trainers for Indian Flame Sneer Joy and Arizona
123 for the trainer
Bimbo d greatest
with out a doubt Winston Griffith's ak fanna is the man a yard the best
Miligram was too far off the pace to beat Viceroy
if he had ran up with with the viceroy he would ave won
Please y'all
True man if he had jus went off the same time viceroy pass the grey horse the race woulda b different memba that, no matter how them wah say viceroy bad 👍
Better horse. Milligram can’t step with him
The fact tht he came up on his shoulder..if he was on pace with him...milligram wlda tek it
Winston grif
La Golondrino by Acer. The mighty Viceroy
Nope. That should be, The Peacemaker by La Golondrino thereby making him half brother to Zalondrino.
@@richone10 a mixture of US& UK breeding.
@@annmarieclarke9107 Gotcha. That explains his class. Fascinating.
No jockey can test the master George Hosang when it comes to those finished
Jamaicas greatest Jockey, no ifs or buts about.it.
Viceroy is the best horse to grace caymanas park. Sir Hosang is the greatest jockey I have ever seen in real life no doubt. Put any other horse and jockey in that race would lose
Eros was better
The greatest jockey is Winston Griffiths & the greatest horse to race @ Caymanas Park is Eros
Ten yards more and Orient Express would a nyam dem food
Rubbish.... couldn't pass the Viceroy.....20 yards more and Orient Express still finishing fast but not passing!
Www Com. One. Love
Ok
The great George 'fookie pang'Hosang taking Winston fanna Griffiths to school,what a ride,he literally brougt the house down
I witnessed Bimbo aboard Spectacular One inviting Hosang aboard I Shall Return on the inside rails to put on a show down the straight for the racing public and boy was it a show for the ages. This is what you called bringing the house down actually the house was blown down .I Shall Return by a head..Both jockeys celebrated while returning to the winners enclosure by holding hands in the air
Victory was better horse you know wath
George Hosang taught Winston Griffiths a lesson in riding.. Griffiths was there whipping his horse.. while Hosang was pushing his horse with his hands and heels..you see the difference with a great jockey compare to a ordinary jockey?
The better horse won the race that day.....not the jockey....The Viceroy is rated as one of the top 3 horses at Caymanas Park ( Many would easily argue that he is the best)....Milligram is not even rated in the top 20!
so you calling Winston Griffiths an ordinary jockey? All people like you nuffi have internet enu
@@bugsy791 I think you should forgive him for referring to Griffiths as an "ordinary jockey" .....thats a comment from an obvious NOVICE and a FOOL to horse racing in Jamaica.....Anyone who knows even a little about horse racing in Jamaica could never in thier right mind regard the Caribbean's Leading All Time Reader; A five time champion jockey; The jockey that wins the most classic races; The jockey that wins the most Superstakes Races and a jockey who has received the National honour of OD; a jockey so accomplished that a race is run in his honour....and these are only some of his many outstanding achivements....Anyone who regards such jockey as ordinary is nothing but a LIVING LUNATIC!
Bumbo hole man a ask fi 1997 superstakes race man no want no viceroy
Commentary...is WICKED.SPUDDY RICKMAN..!!
milligram jockey a fool two horse on top of the str8 and yet u blow the turn... then the jockey look at viceroy and he also tired more than the horse... lol all most drop off with 30 yards out lol
Www. Com. One. Love
Jockey Win That Race one of the Rider Can’t use left hand wip
😀😀😀
The superior horse won that race...The Viceroy is one of the top 6 horses in Jamaica's history.... milligram is not even in the top 20....so you need to study
Griffiths the best Jamaica produce.
