Old Racehorse form/information help: Orchard Hero

[MrSmith]

Hi everyone

I had an ex racehorse many years ago and would love to find out what races he ran in (and any other info. I can find)

I've found some basic information from equiline (Sire, Dame) but that's about it.

As the title says, his name was Orchard Hero, born in 1971.

Any help on where I might find more information would be much appreciated.

Getting in contact with anyone who previously owned him would be brilliant!

If you are on Facebook, try posting to the group "Racehorses, where are they now?". Good luck.

Post here. If you dont have a Facebook account its worth making one. I think the members know every racehorse ever born

There's a search facility on the Racing Post website - it might come up with several horses of the same name from different eras or countries but if you've got the DOB it will help. Have found out that various friends' horses have won rather a lot of money or have been ridden by AP McCoy or Ruby Walsh. It's fascinating stuff!

Thanks for the helpful replies so far, I'll join and ask of the FB group suggested.

Racing post didn't come up with anything sadly.
