Always good to be able to say @I was there'.

Race remembered for the Death of jockey Doug Barrett at the age of 26

saw Ottery Way & Ottery News several times (inc at Stratford on Avon)

This was the better theme for the race on channel 4 3 years later when I was 5 years old the early when I was 2 it played different back then.

Why did they get rid of the Dirt track on the inner?!

Mac vidi what a horse, 2nd in the Cheltenham gold cup

Park Top had to be held up

In B&W because of the ITV Colour Strike which ran for another few weeks, colour coverage of They're Off! in World of Sport (the original umbrella title for ITV racing) resuming on 13th February.

One run, one win. In the Bionic camp of what might have been. Shame.

Sleeping Partner was trained by veteran Sir Jack Jarvis as a two-year-old in 1968.

So much nostalgia

The double acceleration was freakish never seen a horse do that before a true superstar

Hi, I've got a request for a classic race and it's the Weatherbys Summer cup handicap it was run at Doncaster in August 2000 and it was won by Gralmano if you have the race will you try and upload the race please espmadrid

On course the judge announced the second as the winner. Took a few minutes for correcting.

One of my all time favourite horses.

I’d no idea who actually won it , great finish though 👏 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gorytus, Desis and Dunbeath were all at one time favourites for this. All 3 disappointed at 3

Superb ride by pat on that machine horse.Criminal he didn't win the derby.

Ribero ridden by the maestro had previously won the Irish Derby beating SIr Ivor.

Moscow flyer also came 2nd with no jockey and after a fall

Is that a sheep at the 4f pole?

Grange brake could've Bern a gold cup winner, masses of ability but an absolute sod😂

Behrajan was a great horse. And that McCoy / Johnson rivalry had been running for a long time.

Best horse Steve Woodman ever had, shame it didn't go onto better things, although it did finish 4th in the Champion Hurdle in the same year.

Consolation for the grand national

nice race

Looking for 2001 Phil Baker stay away novice chase mate 🙏 from Huntingdon 🤞

Back when TV was decent and none of this PC/Woke sh1t.

Loved old Quito. Always ran his race.

This commentator was struggling with all the names 😱😂😂😂😂😂

Watching with a tear in my eye. Never a racing fan bur my dad was, so when I hear this, it takes me back. Remember watching the morning line on a Saturday with him. Thumbs up to everyone who has the same memories. Great days. Wish I knew them at that time.

Now we have a lesbian straight out of bed from sukin that ginger singer that sings about holding hands

Now they are all INFECTED WITH THE WOKE MIND VIRUS

A recent extract from Horse Racing Matters. "The fall into complete ordinariness of the race that started out as the mould-breaking and historically the first sponsored race in British horse racing, the Whitbread Gold Cup and what is now the bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase, becomes ever more apparent. It is the last major race of the National Hunt season and yet would not stand as tall as an iceberg if it were staged mid-week at Warwick or Exeter. And the race is not exactly worth peanuts; there is £115,000 in prize money, more than many of the races on the undercard at the Cheltenham Festival. It’s a disgrace, isn’t it, that a race with such a rich tapestry of history should be allowed by its sponsors, by Sandown and by the B.H.A. to become so forgettable? Arkle won a Whitbread. So did Mill House. In fact, under the Whitbread banner, it was contested by nearly all the top chasers of the decades of its duration. When Paul Nicholls entered Clan Des Obeaux I thought the race was finally attracting the calibre of horse its history deserved. But no, Clan Des Obeaux will be packing his bags over the weekend for a journey across the Irish Sea to take on Minella Indo and all those other thumpingly good chasers domiciled in the Emerald Isle. I suspect if Harry Cobden was not injured a different decision might have been taken.” For the record: only Arkle and MIll House won The Hennessy and th e Gold Cup as well, both powerhouses of horses. But neither were ever risked in the Grand. National even though they were both always heavily handicapped in the Hennessy. Anne, Duchess of Westminster loved her horse too much.Mill House suffered from back problems and had slightly fragile forelegs.

I was at Cheltenham that day on a trip organised by a club before we left for Cheltenham I placed a bet at the bookies a 10p win heinz 57 £ 6.27. 1st race Kildimo 2nd race robin wonder 3rd race very promising 4th race two coppers 5th race olympic prize 6th race melendez. Return £8.147.43p watched them all come in.

One of my favourite milers of all time. He was a half brother to Commander in Chief, Dushyantor and Deploy, so he came from a pretty exceptional family. There was nothing better than watching Eddery pulling a double handful on this horse, then pressing the button and disappearing from his rivals.

Just brilliant. Its like Dessie heard the commentators saying he hadnt jumped aswell as usual as he absolutely nailed the last 6. The second last in particular was wonderful stuff

loved shavian lovely miler goodwood really suited him as he preferred being fast away

Hi, I've got a request for a classic race and it's the William Hill golden spurs handicap trophy it was won by Dowsing it was run at York in June 1987 if you have the race will you be able to upload it please espmadrid 👍
