My outlaws have a retired race horse whos 27/ 28 years old called danny (race name do daani or close to). His sire was Sexton Blake supposedly and I'm trying to find out a bit more info on him if possible ie his breeding, race career etc. Sexton Blake was foaled 1975 and I know that he won the 1977 Champagne stakes as a 2yo under Willie Carson no less but that's about all google will tell me about him. Just wondered if any one out the could shed any light on him. A long shot I know but I know that if anyone knows, you lot will!

I know nothing about him except that he sired a horse called Ala Hounak who is the sire of my mare!!
