Brian Molloy His name was Cyril Neville wasn't it? He took an absolute fortune off the Aussie bookmakers when Dalray won the Melbourne Cup. Legendary man and a legendary horse. Dalray was an exceptional horse. Wasn't Cyril Neville a founder of Baillie and Neville?

Dalray Peter it looks magic :) thankyou :)

Peter Dennehy Dalray I didn't realize you where a member.

Peter Dennehy Dalray it has got quite a few comments.

Marj Mace Think Dalray was named after the 2 Neville kids. Is that right.? The Cup spent a night in Hokitika in. a jewellery shop window no security in those days .

Wendy McDiarmid Who was W R Simpson?

Ken Campbell I thought Dalray was a town in Ayrshire Scotland is that not what the horse was named after?

Carol Stewart I can remember a silver tray and tea service like this which was awarded at Westport for a horse named Sue Scott owned by uncle and aunt Bill and Nancy Clark. Early fifties.
