And even he couldn't win both the Irish National and the Champion Chase ( 2nd to Pearlyman ) let alone do it in the same season like Flyingbolt.
The only footage I have seen of Flyingbolt is of him splashing up the hill at Cheltenham to win the Massey Ferguson ( or Mackeson ) and his third place in the Champion Hurdle the day after winning the Champion Chase. Racing would have been cancelled in similar conditions now, and horses aren't allowed to run twice at the Cheltenham Festival any longer.
