Brings back so many memories. I remember you being paraded at Wincanton race course after you had retired, you were only ment to canter past the stand but the jockey could not stop you, you flew, if you had been entered in to a race that day I think you may well have won!!

dessie was truly brilliant a great horse, so many likewise ie red rum springs to mind and others, but the greatest horse in my eyes and yes iam of age lol was the one and only legend arkle for those younger look up arkle on tube read about him, he was a super horse like dessie he was never risked in grand national to precious, red rum won 3 nationals so most people see that and say red rum was greatest, but like i say arkle for me was the true greatest rip arkle n dessie n red rum great in different ways

for me dessie the best ever!he could race over 2miles?3milles!3and half and the only race he didn't run in was the national?too precious to be risked but if he had done and won then he would probably have eclipesd even red rum?

We have delusions, we are selfish and stupid and destructive. Some have saving graces but as a whole, i much prefer various animals. Dessie was a marvel, and we are lucky he lived alongside us.

Dessie would have almost certainly one five on the trot too - had it not been for the 'suicide run' in the 87? King George, where we had three front runners (included Dessie), none of whom wanted to be headed. Halfway round the back straight one fell and the other two were exhaused (Dessie being one)... if I remember rightly, a French horse won of all things!!!

Desert Orchid's Victor Chandler Chase victory over Panto Prince has recently been posted. This was arguably his greatest victory, giving away 22lbs to a top class chaser over a distance that was arguably by then too short for him. His tenacity to get up on the line was magnificent.

Thanks Glenposh. In a funny way those still photos say as much about Dessie as all my videos of him do. What a priviledge to be around at the time that his unique blend of brilliance and courage lighted up our lives. We still miss you Dessie

Depends on what you mean by greatest- the form book says not- but Dessie had such style and charisma. Arkle was an unstoppable machine; Dessie had almost human frailties- the slog through the mud in the CGC still GENUINELY moves me to tears.

A nice tribute to the most popular horse there has ever been. I doubt we'll get this response when Kauto Star or Kicking King go! I also think it's ironic that people are talking about the dangers of steeplechasing in a tribute to Desert Orchid: if all horses jumped like Dessie did, there wouldn't be a single fatality on the course!

There is no doubt that Desert Orchid was great. Comparing race horses that came from different era's is hard. Arkle probably won more races (including 3 Gold Cups) than any other. But I loved Dessie!

+eddie jackson The general public took Dessie to their heart more than any other racehorse, his final race when falling, the cheer the crowd gave him just for finishing safely was amazing. He may not 'technically' have been the greatest racehorse ever, but his sheer determination to always give 100% caught the heart of a nation. RIP Dessie
