Backed him that year but also backed him AP for the champion Hurdle and lost a testicle on him.

Made the same mistake with Coral Diver and Boxer

How about the year Peter O'Sullivan lost the plot when he said of the 2nd "He's getting up" when he clearly wasn't going anywhere........understandable I suppose as he did own the winner.

Maybe the unluckiest loser of the Triumph ever.

Watch him going towards the 2nd last in 11th place make the fastest move I've ever seen. He did it so fast it took Peter O'Sullivan almost a hurdle to realize he was in 2nd

lol yes but i still think O'Sullivan's 1974 Triumph commentary is superb if he was just an owner you would have loved to see him go mad on CH4 or RUK. How much of a major sporting coup it would have been for racing having a camera on O'Sullivan as he commentated a true moment in history lost.

With BBC you could not be so UnBritish as to show emotion of any type.
Stiff Upper Lip, and all that.
Emotion a Characteristic of the Celtic clans and look where it got them !

What priceless would it be to hear him say in that perfect even measured tone of his " Well , I seem to have lost my b"££""ks on that one !"
