What happened to El Gran Senor?

Crazy good horse . . . otherwise it wouldn't be "a part of the family" . . . it'd be "how much per kilo do we get from him after slaughter" ?

RIP Black Caviar. It doesn’t matter if you win by four lengths or a nose. Black caviar will forever be undefeated.

sadly he didnt race again, so its impossible to tell how good he was. Other horses have won the derby from way back in the field in the straight tho, such as Troy and lamtarra

Lester my hero growing up , what a jockey he waited until the last second to pull the trigger and let the horse go . Genius. Showed them Yanks , William Buick and Ryan Moore do the same now . Good old Lester was the cry from the happy punters at Newmarket as he booted home yet another winner . What memories.

Sea Bird was lame at the finish

The greatest sprinter in horse racing history

RIP Black Caviar

I loved this mare! I would stay up late at night just to watch her run in the States...she was amazing! 💔

Black Caviar has passed at 17 😢. Great memories.

Back in the good old day’s when the Epsom Derby winner was considered the best horse in Europe, that’s changed recently for two reasons, one when a certain horse didn’t win a Derby and two when Aidan O’Brien started dominating the race. For some of us who’ve been following racing for 6 decades the Epsom Derby is still the hallmark of greatness.

Commentator?

Frankel the greatest horse that ever walked gods earth

What a champion! So great to be able to re-live those famous wins. Thank you.

Pebbles could’ve ran around the track again and strawberry Road would never have caught her

would have won the arc by a mile what a horse

The likes of Harbinger and Montjeu were true greats, Frankel beat nothing in average times in his 'spectacular performances'

saddlers Wells reminds me of his sir Northern Dancer. Most people think of them as a top sir but they were monsters on the track. Their records speak for themselves

I think all long was better than both of them but they were great. There’s no doubt about it

Lester Piggot was the master of a well timed finish and the US journos were to learn that fact!

One of the best ever for sure.i was only 11 when he won but dont think ive seen much better .awesome.

This was the only occasion that Peter O'Sullevan was totally wrong in his commentary. Sea Bird was NEVER some way behind them as O'Sullevan stated. Sea Bird was in the first 6 throughout the race. There is a much clearer video of this Arc made by a Japanese film crew, and it clearly shows that Sea Bird was up with the pace throughout the race.

Nous étions, A 500 Mètres de là, Au même moment, A la ''fete des vendanges de SURESNES '''.

LES DEUX PREMIÈRES SONT A FELICITER, MAGNIFIQUE LIGNE DROITE ☀️☀️🐴🐴🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Soumillon didn't know about Orfevre. He has a tendency to lug in on the home straight, and he loses motivation when whipped. It can be said that he lost because the trainer and owner changed from a Japanese jockey to Soumillon without communicating with him.

This is how Id rather remember him and not by that frightening polaroid image.

Sulla mia lapide voglio la sua,foto..io lo amo!❤❤❤❤

Best ever ? Not sure about that, 2nd and third in this race were rated 113 and 108, fodder to Frankel, no Brigadiers in there, he was kept in his comfort zone by Sir Henry, a truly brilliant trainer, had he took on a Mill reef, Dancing brave or sea the stars over 12F his winning streak would have ended. You cant compare a Queen Anne with an Arc or king George...also Sea the stars guineas was 2 seconds faster the Frankels, greatest race hmm dream on Frankelfiles..

Absolute FLUKE never run again ,wonder why??

Brilliant both Shergar and Walter! Great times 1981

A Legend there is no doubt and will not see anything like him for a very long time!

Impressive

ALLEZ FRANCE, COMME SASSAFRAS, EST REPARTIE SOUS L' ASSAUT DE L' ASSAILLANT. MAGNIFIQUE ARC, GRANDE POULICHE, ALLEZ FRANCE ❤❤☀️☀️🇫🇷🇫🇷🍀🍀🐴🐴

Eddery said the best he ever sat on and won the derby without an effort and in the fastest time since the war think of that

da freuen sich die Geldgierige wieder mal über den Sieg

サイアーライン残してくんねぇかな

The maestro at work.....hands and heels.....the supreme judge of pace - he knew what his rivals had left and, acutely aware of Sagaro's capabilities, let him canter home. What a jockey - the best there's ever been!

Frankel is related to northern dancer what a champion ❤❤❤❤❤

What might have been, wonderful talent lost too early

No runs, no hits, NO ERRORS!!

FLUKE

Been around the world. Watched many horses. Black caviar would beat Frankel easy

Devastating turn of foot in the money lane

Golden Cygnet was clearly coming to win his race but he never took off and consequently paid the ultimate price for it. As brilliant as Golden Cygnet undoubtedly was, the name of the game is jumping and that was something he didn't do on this occasion. It was a tragedy that deprived the racing world of such a prodigious talent. We will never know what he might have gone on to achieve but for coming to grief at that final hurdle.

Vincent O'brien and Lester piggott will always be the best since 1960

Brigadier Gerard and Frankel were brilliant milers and got ten furlongs, but in BG case he was beaten by a horse who stayed a mile and a half as evidenced by his Epsom Derby win. I don't think that BG would have beaten Roberto even if there were no excuses for why he was beaten here.

Quite a shame that we never got the chance to see Harbinger back up this great performance.

Roberto was cruising

I'm sure everyone who enjoys racing has there own opinion on who the greatest Horse was in my era watching racing from the 80s to today ive never seen a Horse that would have lived with Dancing Brave , his acceleration was just unreal

Piggott thought Seabird would have beaten Frankel and STS
