You should try and find What's Up Boys Coral Cup win
Flagship Uberalles Queen (won despite the ground being desperate)
Hawk Wing's Lockinge is exceptional.
Arazi in the Breeders Cup.
Edredom Bleu's Champion Chase.
Florida Pearl's King George.
Giant Causeway V Kalanisi
Kyllachy winning the Nunthorpe.

Big Strand's Coral Cup is a bobby-dazzler

 

[Aragorn]

Kauto: His first Old Roan, the day the world realised we had something special.
Denmans first Hennessy, the day everyone realised there might be another horse as good as Kauto.
Zarkava's Arc. I loved that filly. She fell out stalls and still won easy.
Not a classic but the 2007 Supreme was my first ever race live at the festival and I backed Noland, still not sure how he won.

 

[BigRob]

I'll nominate one of Dessies wins

Love Viking Flagship. I sat on him once, just in the yard.

You just don't see things like that happening to great horses in such big races.

A couple of threads on here, this being one of them, are bringing back memories of a Jethro Tull hit of the late sixties.

 

[Ardross]

Look up the Cavendish Cape Hcap 1979 on you tube - a ride of stupendous nerve by Lester Piggott on House Guard .

 

[Narcotic Nora]

Lester on Royal Academy at the Breeders Cup deserves a mention.

Bonanza Boy Racing Post Chase....mental !!

 

[Ardross]

There is also Mill House's 1967 Whitbread win on YT - where he gets a Denman like reception from the crowd !

 

[SlimChance]

What would the best Steve Cauthen ride to dig out? Oh So Risky?

I loved Old Vic so French and Irish Derby's for me

 

[trudij]

Something involving Indian Skimmer surely??

also (though not involving Steve Cauthen) any of Lochsong's wins are pretty good to watch...
