The Epsom Derby 1934 won by Windsor Lad, owned by my grandfather Maharaja Vijaysinhji of Rajpipla. Trained by Marcus Marsh and ridden by Charlie Smirke.
Brilliant old 'Newsreel', which I was brought to by researching your grandfather's story, as a way to verifying part of my own Great-grandfather's story, about meeting your Grandfather on a voyage in 1922! If you have time I'd love to correspond (contact details sent separately)? Regards, Geoff
