Olympia Hall London Weihnachten 1999
1999 John Whitaker chalked up a sixth success on the final day at Olympia when Virtual Village Randi beat Di Lampard and Equity in the Eurosport Christmas Hamper.
After his masterly World Cup triumph for the second year running at the weekend on 19-year-old Welham, it was the fifth victory in five days for Whitaker's 15-year-old Hungarian bred grey.
Randi has also scored in diverse competitions like the Ride and Drive, the relay and the Fancy Dress, and showed no sign of flagging as the pair sped round the short cuts to take the lead.
