H.J. "Jim" Joel's trophy for the Marten Julian National Hunt Guide Novices' Hurdle won by the Josh Gifford-trained Book of Gold and ridden by Richard Rowe at Sandown Park 30th November 1990, in the form of a Waterford Crystal vase, height 33cm., fine condition, with a wooden display plinth bearing a race presentation inscription Book of Gold won the second race on the card. However, it would appear that there had been a muddle with the presentation at Sandown Park as the race inscription on Mr Joel's plinth is detailed for the first race, the Crowngap Construction Handicap Steeplechase, which had been won by the Diana Grissell-trained Faaris. Provenance: the late H.J. "Jim" Joel
