A racing plate worn by Attivo in one of his many races during the period of 1973-77, mounted on a framed board with a framed colour print above, the reverse bears a framed typed and hand written compliments slip from C.A. Mitchell, 46.7 x 36.2 cm. Attivo (1970-92) was one of the most popular horses owned by ''The Voice of Racing'', legendary commentator Sir Peter O'Sullevan. Trained by Cyril Mitchell at Epsom, Attivo ran 13 times on the Flat without success before three hurdling victories including the famous 1974 Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham during which O'Sullevan's race commentary never wavered. Reverting to the Flat, he landed the 1974 Chester Cup and Northumberland Plate, and won a total of ten races during his career.
