1981 Mandarin Handicap Chase Newbury Master Smudge

Vastly unerestimated chaser in what he achieved

[@fedlad]

Underrated horse. Fortunate "winner" of the 1980 gold cup, though he won the 1979 Sun Alliance Chase fair and square. Loved Cheltenham, think he won 5 or 6 times there, also including the Golden Miller Chase at the April meeting same season as this clip.

Richard Linley timing his run to perfection. I used to love the BBC's coverage of Newbury with the camera on the far side of the back straight. I seem to remember Prince Charles once rode Good Prospect in a chase; with similar results !

Good old Smudgey... the time to back him was usually when the mud was flying...
