Another of Catherine's Well's progeny, Elvington Boy was an out and out sprinter. We knew him as 'Elvis'. His early form earned him a handicap mark of 81, and he won at Ripon in August '99. He also won at Musselburgh, again at Ripon and then at York in his four and five year old seasons. Unluckily he was just touched off by a short head in the 2002 Scottish Sprint Cup. He earned over £60,000 in win and place prizemoney. At home Elvington Boy was a regular work ride of the late Phil Greally.
