An exciting National Hunt prospect
Calcutta
A good looking, powerful, free moving horse, they do not come much tougher than Calcutta who ran 101 times, a total of 100 miles on the track.  "Calcutta was a nice horse to have around. He was very honest and always won his races. His record speaks for itself, he was sound all of his life, had a good temperament and was a super ride"
- B. W. Hills (trainer).
