Procol was a race-horse ...

Report on a Danish winner

Jesper Frigast Larsen writes from the Sports Confederation of Denmark to BtP (March, 2006)

Procol Harum is a horse ... well, also a horse.

You may already have heard this from others, but if not here's a nice story: not only does PH have a most faithful audience in Denmark, and not only will Denmark host the most exciting musical event of 2006 : The Castle Concerts at Ledreborg Castle with PH and the world famous (in Denmark!) Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra. (Don't miss this event!) ...

Denmark is also home to a talented race horse by the name of Procol Harum. Born in 2002, the horse won a race in its maiden season (2004) at Jägersro Race Course in Sweden and was tipped for the Danish Derby in 2005. Unfortunately, the horse has had some problems recently, but is apparently on its way back to top form under the guidance of trainer Bent Olsen.

I usually don't follow the races at all, but I will look out for Procol Harum once the racing season gets under way and keep BtP informed of any successes.
