Nashwan's claim to fame is the fact that he won the 2000 Guineas, the Derby, the Eclipse and the King George VI, all in the same season. A feat that has never been matched by any other horse. His year was 1989. Trained by Dick Hern and ridden by Willie Carson, Nashwan was sent to the 2000 Guineas without a prep race. He justified favouritism by winning by a length and a half. His only defeat came when third in the Prix Niel and he was retired to stud soon after.
