"BALLYMOSS"
Bloodline & Family Tree:
Ballymoss was
foaled in 1954 by Mossborough out of Indian Call and
was one of the greatest Irish racehorses. Bred by
Richard Ball he was bought as a yearling by the
American owner Mr. S. McShain. Trained by Vincent
O'Brian in 1957 he won the St. Leger and the Irish
Derby and was beaten into second place that year by
Crepello in the English Derby. The following year
saw Ballymoss triumphant, as a four year old, in the
Eclipse Stakes and in the French Prix de L'Triumphe.
Ballymoss would become one of the leading broodmare
sires in England, and sire 177 dams with 1032 foals,
of which 630 were runners - 341 winners, 91 of which
were 2 year olds winners. Amongst his pedigree is
Nearco (sire to Nimbus) another broodmare sire which
would give rise to Northern Dancer, himself a
classic winning racehorse and the predecessor of
many of today's leading thoroughbreds. The Ballymoss
legend would live on in such racehorses as; Royal
Palace, sired by Ballymoss, and winner of the 1967
Derby and 2000 Guineas, also the 1968 Eclipse
Stakes; Teenoso (1983 Derby and 1984 King George &
Queen Elizabeth Stakes); Dunfermline, winner of the
1977 Oaks and St. Leger (Ballymoss and St. Paddy
both in the bloodline); Lev Moss, winner of the 1969
Gold Cup; and Le Moss , winner of the 1979 and 1980
Gold Cup. Both Lev Moss and Le Moss were foaled by
Feemoss a dam by Ballymoss.

During the week commencing 17th October 1977 unofficial industrial
action led to the removal of Deltics from all ECML workings. Action
was taken by maintenance staff angry at the proposed closure of
Finsbury Park Depot with the introduction of the new HST fleet,
which was to be maintained at the new Bounds Green Depot.
Maintenance staff 'blacked' the Deltic fleet thus all engines
remained 'laid-up' at various installations until the dispute was
settled on October 21st. A list of how the dispute affected the
class is as follows:
