Nimblefoot (horse)


Nimblefoot was an Australian bred Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1870 Melbourne Cup.
Nimblefoot's owner, Walter Craig, dreamt four months before the race that his horse won the Cup but noted the jockey wore a black armband. Craig's prediction came true. His horse won the Cup and the jockey, J Day wore the armband in Craig's honour as he had been murdered a month before the running of the race.
