[@Mike20216]

Great documentary, There’s been some magnificent horses since, but they all live in Arkle’s shadow. The greatest

Ive never seen a better national hunt horse than Kauto Star in my life but Arkle would be giving Kauto 20 pounds in a handicap. That's absolutely mind boggling. It must have been something else to see him live

[@roberto4001000]

Arkle was a phenomenon, he really was the best we've ever seen by a long way, Kauto star wouldnt get close to him he was a freak .

He was bred by long-standing family friends, the Bakers. Alison & June were so proud of him. It was always lovely to see them racing in Ireland, where those who 'knew' held them in very high esteem. The same goes for the Dreapers. Happy times!

Brilliant, so nice that you are taking us on a great nostalgia trip. Would be lovely to see a Brigadier Gerard compilation.

[@horseracinghq]

I will try and source Brigadier Gerard content

[@michaeljohnson5365]

Arkle never raced in the Grand National! imagine if he did he could have won 3 like Red Rum carrying top weight

[@aman2340]

Arkle won the Grand national with 12st 7 on his back. Not sure where you're getting that info. We have our own racing here in Ireland and we have a Grand national that he won.

[@michaeljohnson5365]

Great horse but before my time, my time was best mate, he will do for me Fastest gold cup time? Long run

[@aman2340]

wrong.. Poet Prince did it in 6:15.6, red power, silver fame, hard knock all did it faster than long run... anyway means nothing all years had different goings and some bad weather rainy foggy sloppy etc etc and all races are different a different pace set by front runner. Arkle did it best he carried 12st in his 3 gold cup wins and won grand nationals and other gold cups and races with 12st 5 12st 11 etc and beat horses by 20-30 lengths

[@thomasjoyce3229]

What about the weight

[@beverleymorris167]

Long run didn't carry 12 stone,and was on fast ground
