Golden Fleece 1982 Epsom Derby

[@steveo7165]

Shame Golden Fleece's racing career and life was cut short, he could of been a great. RIP Pat & Golden Fleece

[@StephenSmall-sf5um]

He was the best since sea bird

[@cyril1sm]

"The best horse I have ever sat on" . If I was a horse whisperer, I am sure GF would of said the same of the great Pat Eddery as a human. I would love to have heard his thoughts to compare with Dancing Brave whom he rode in 1986. Rest in peace Mr Eddery.

[@robertdelacy3434]

He did compare them an he said golden fleece was the best he ever rode

[@gazowen7310]

Fastest time in 50 years that shows how good he was

[@neiljclements]

Damn right. That man could gather up his horse. Gave it a great patient ride though before he asked him to set sail for the judge

[@PatrickDurney]

Most impressive winner of the Derby ever, made up ground in a heartbeat even Pat had to take a pull horse could have won 10lengths

[@gazowenowen250]

Some say he was the best sadly never got to show it

[@sconzerb7780]

Godlen Fleece did what Dancing Brave couldn't do. Come from a long way back and win easily. DB was being pushed from when he entered the straight. Golden Fleece travelling easy all the way.

[@Nautilus1972]

My old man said GF was the best he ever saw. Still think Lammtarra's was better though! Miss you dad.

[@vencejo7572]

All gone too soon -- Golden Fleece, Lammtarra, Pat and Walter.

[@terrioconnell5071]

Would have been right up there with the greats.won without being asked a question.

[@tommyharrigan3563]

pat gave dancing brave brilliant ride ark

[@gazowenowen250]

Touching wood went on to win the Leger

[@jjsmith4829]

GF had nothing on SB who shot to the front when his jick brefly let him a bit off the bridle

[@user-wm7mp2fl1p]

Golden Fleece cut through the field like a hot knife thru butter no wonder Eddery considered Golden Fleece the best horse he ever rode what an acceleration what a horse

[@kurman4749]

Golden Fleece was clearly a top class racehorse, but it has to be said that the opposition was poor. Sadly, Golden Fleece died before he could make his mark at stud.

[@lockoshocko]

Touching wood, and silver Hawk were good horse s and Assert won 2 classic after been well beaten by GF

[@StephenSmall-sf5um]

​Not well beat more like anihilated​@@lockoshocko
