On a rainy day in January 1980 I arrived at Grosbois. Sunday a few days later the Danish national idol Tarok was going to race in Prix d'Amerique at Vincennes. Until then he was stabled at the training center Grosbois.
There were 1500 horses at the training center.
Who was the first horse I saw? ..........Tarok!
