'Race Of The Century' and it lived up to its billing.

This was a really top class field too with the legendary Dahlia and Arc winner, Star Appeal

And Peter O'Sullevan was a class race caller. Americans should take note.

BBC racing was fantastic....Peter commentating...jimmy lindley and julian wilson.......this meeting used to start with the ladies race over a mile..........then they turned it into an handicap now its on the friday

[@jadervason8623]

ol' pete sure could call a race

That race literally killed bustino and grundy.

I take your point if talking about their future racing careers, but 'literally' it didn't. Grundy lived to be 22 and Bustino 26.
