1981 Waterford Crystal Champion Hurdle Sea Pigeon

[@maureenormston8356]

An absolute masterclass of a ride by John Francome and what a star horse Sea Pigeon was in a golden era of hurdlers. Lovely to hear Sir Peter's voice.

👍..... Every time I watch that, I question if John Francome has left it too late 😆

Francome masterclass. Not a whip in sight. Perfection.

In retirement Sea Pigeon was a dressage competitor. Guess what Badsworth Boy did.
