I remember Soba. As a juvenile, she was useless, selling plate form. Following year, couldn't stop winning , racking up consecutive wins in handicaps. Seemed she was in the handicapper's grip previous race to this, beaten at Newcastle. She was having none of it, won the Goodwood Stewards Cup, then upped in grade to listed then group company. Had it not been for Habibti, she would have won the July Cup and Prix de l'abbaye.
I remember race this vividly . I backed Soba àt 20/1 and she was returned at 18/1 . Sadly , both her jockey David ( " Dandy " ) Nicholls , and trainer David Chapman , have since passed away - as indeed has Soba .
18\1 for me : ) SOBA, the extraordinary sprinting filly who rose from rags to riches to be crowned 'Queen of the North' in the 1980s, has died at the age of 25 at the Yorkshire farm where she was foaled.
