Absolutely loving these old races, brings back so many memories.

[@waqarkhan25]

this was when jump racing was jump racing because they didn't have so many jump-back races, not even summer jump racing

[@befairish]

Thanks++ for this, never thought the footage would still be available. Pendil was a superstar, used to hammer Tingle Creek around Sandown!! Would love to see his King George vs Captain Christy

[@gerrymcguire7382]

Actually seen pendil make a jumping mistake there,must have been a one off. Him and Wayward Lad best jumpers I’ve ever seen.

[@befairish]

@@gerrymcguire7382 I don't recall him making another, he was so nimble and athletic

[@markitg1972]

They had the artificial "horse hoof" sound even back in 1972 😁

[@ianturner4826]

Pendil was virtually unbeatable at Kempton

Happy Days. Anyone know where I can view Spanish Steps beating Khan in the SGB at Ascot?

[@rasslem]

Halcyon Days for Racing!

[@russellgipson7872]

This is when fences were fences courses like Kempton ,Wetherby , Aintree and even Sandown you had to jump them and not brush through them proper jumping

[@Kevin-lf4xx]

Anybody know when they got rid of the water jump at Kempton.

[@williamnightingale2285]

When the AW track was constructed.

[@darren2514fv]

In terms of horse names the BHA would not allow a horse to be called Dimwit today

[@mark-shane]

Loose horses that keep jumping such a pain.
