Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Vaguely Noble Triumph. DESCRIPTION: A name to be reckoned with, the British-bred Vaguely Noble, bought by American Robert Franklyn for a record price ten months ago. Since then he’s won almost a hundred thousand pounds, and his win in the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe, beating Lester Piggott on Sir Ivor, makes his the wonder horse of the year.
