Its often overlooked that L'Escargot was good enough to start as favourite for the 1969 Champion Hurdle

Great race, I remember it well! L'Escargot finally winning at his fourth attempt. Always makes me laugh watching Andy Turnell falling and pulling Paul Kelleway out of the saddle! :)

Red Rum giving 11lb to a two time Gold Cup winner. Michael O Leary would have had a fit if had owned him

Golden days of the great race before the changes. Spoilt by listening to people who hate horseracing. Would McDonalds stop selling BigMacs just because veggies dont like burgers?

I couldn't agree more.Used to be the highlight of the year,not any more.Shambolic by the authorities to cave in throughout the years,now aimed at bigger owners/trainers with little owners/trainers having a far less chance to succeed. They claimed they have listened within and outside the racing world,do I have to spell that out any clearer.I believe that it is not due to just only animal rights.

Yes they would if the BHA was in charge
