The 1991 King George VI Chase. As well as being a seriously high-class renewal, it's also notable for:
Desert Orchid's last ever race.
Remittance Man not quite getting home.
The Fellow going two places better than 1990.
The seriously terrible low-definition telly pictures we used to put up with!
Credit goes to one-time TH member 'Arazi' for sharing this with me years back.
Enjoy.

Florida Pearl was the first chaser that I really got behind. This was right around my love of racing time

Wasn’t it McCririck who kept saying they needed to put blinkers on him to win the GC and he was right?

I'd forgotten how good a race this was.

The Melling Chase was even better ; Viking Flagship, Deep Sensation and Martha's Son do or die.

Wild stuff.
No hiding in those days , when beaten you looked forward to the next day, and revenge.

Do you think the jockeys were that bit wilder those days?

No breathalyser helped !
At Aintree of all places when the jockeys Irish and British met up there was bedlam.
Just check Steve Smith Eccles' episodes with one Tommy McGivern.

His name might be an anagram of ‘owl sh*it’ but that didn’t stop him winning a hatful of Grade 1 hurdles at 2m, 2m4f and 3m. One of my all-time faves winning the Stayers.

This will never not be a beautiful thing to watch for me - the build up to the race was full of PFN telling anyone around they’d absolutely flatten Sprinter which just made this so, so sweet to watch….

I have never seen this one before, Sea Pigeon when a Novice hurdler 1974. Seems really odd watching Newcastle with the camera on the other side in the straight.
