The ‘extended footage’ videos are my favourite: thanks as always.

[@teenoso4069]

Spartan Missile, Grittar, Eliogarty, Roman General, The Drunken Duck, Midnight Court, Animahron, Venture to Cognac, Further Thought, Shrewd Operator, Compton Lad, Earls Brig, Purdo, Prominent King, Flying Ace, Whiggie Geo, Little Owl - just some of the other hunters that ran that season.

Great footage.I remember Brod Munro Wilson and the Drunken Duck!

Great upload as ever with these extended vids..Interesting to see both Simon Sherwood and James Fanshawe the flat trainer riding in this.

[@teenoso4069]

Charlie Brooks the trainer too. I think Caroline Saunders (Bailey) was down at one point to ride Towtame but James Fanshawe got the mount

[@darren2514fv]

Simon Sherwood turned professional and when on to ride Desert Orchid

I love that SP - 85/40, just a shade over 2/1.

Not related to the race, but does it blow anyone else's' minds that 1984 was nearly 40 years ago...

[@teenoso4069]

If memory seves Colin Kemball (Freddie Bee) was around 56 here. They pulled his licence and good thing too according to his son, who I spoke with 20 years later. RIP Roman Bar 15 year old
