Nimblefoot (horse)
text:
Nimblefoot was an Australian bred Thoroughbred racehorse that won the 1870 Melbourne Cup. In a well-accepted story, Nimblefoot's owner, Walter Craig, dreamt four months before the race that his horse won the Cup but noted the jockey wore a black armband. Craig's prediction came true. His horse won the Cup and the jockey, John Day, wore the armband in Craig's honour, as Craig had died of gout and pneumonia at the age of 45 on 16 August 1870, three months before the running of the race.
