Thank you for sharing this. It never grows old, seeing video footage from Crabbet Park. I did have a laugh at Nasik, being such a naughty boy and trying to nibble Lady Wentworth’s hand, while Skowronek was remarkably good, standing like a statue.
Parade of grey stallions: four Skowronek sons, first Naseem, then *Raswan, Rissaal, and Rangoon, and the old grey bringing up the rear is probably *Mirage.
Stallions circling: Lady Wentworth leading Raseem, followed by *Nasik, Hazzam, *Nureddin II, Rafeef, and Shareer.
Another point: this footage could not have been shot in 1922, because Raseem was a 1922 foal, and looks to be at least 2 years old. This must have been shot in summer of 1924 or maybe 1925. (Cannot be as late as summer 1926, because *Raswan and *Nasik were shipped to USA that spring.)

I used to know the stallions circling around, but now i forget who is who.

Thank you for sharing Edouard. Thank you RJ for identifying the horses.
