Godlen Fleece did what Dancing Brave couldn't do. Come from a long way back and win easily. DB was being pushed from when he entered the straight. Golden Fleece travelling easy all the way.

Golden Fleece was clearly a top class racehorse, but it has to be said that the opposition was poor. Sadly, Golden Fleece died before he could make his mark at stud.

"The best horse I have ever sat on" . If I was a horse whisperer, I am sure GF would of said the same of the great Pat Eddery as a human. I would love to have heard his thoughts to compare with Dancing Brave whom he rode in 1986. Rest in peace Mr Eddery.
