If you mean Vorvados, 1977 grey gelding by The Go-Between ex. Keravnos, probably not, as he'd be 32 and that's extremely old for a racehorse.

Vorvados was bred by my father and I inherited him when the horse was a 3 yr old.

He was never gelded , on retirement at 7 - after winning many sprints in a thrilling last second burst of speed [ Lester Piggott commented that when he pushed the button he has an amazing turn of foot, the best he'd experienced which is quite something to hear from that most taciturn jockey]- he was sold to stand at stud, in Norfolk I think but very sadly he only covered a few mare as he was kicked by one and suffered a ruptured spleen so was PTS. I believe that he had 3 offspring.
