Great upload. Shame there were no close ups of the action in those days.

No i agree this was just about the time they finally started to change the way camera angles needed to change so for places like Ascot it happened quite quickly but Cheltenham seemed to take ages to end the view from the stands camera down the back and distant view from top of the hill to over 2 out. However i love reviewing this type of coverage now it seems a refreshing change somehow compared to the focus on s close up of head of field action only of today.

I always thought Starkey was a really good jockey until he completely messed it up in the Dancing Brave/Sharistani derby.

0:48 one poor ride does not a bad jockey make

Favourite looks to have been squeezed up a bit but I'm surprised star appeal was such a big outsider for the arc. No match for dahlia in the king George though

Thought Piggott sat a bit close to the pacemaker there, horse was spent 2f out?

Dahlia what a filly she was the original globe trotter.
