I watched this race at least-100 times and it never ever fails to give me goosebumps in the last 2f …. There’s a reason it’s voted thr best horse race of all time

The masterful Pat Eddery at his brilliant best. One of the best tactical rides ever in a top class race. Kept Dancing Brave out the back, out of trouble and then delivered him to perfection.

My all time favourite horse on the flat Greville slept in the Derby, and paid the price but I forgive him he had a bad day, and rode him brilliantly in previous races.

Never get bored watching this. Eddery's a genius. I hate it when the frame changes when the brave overtakes Bering! The brave wins going away! What a freak! 'Eddery's asking for everything" And Dancing Brave delivers!

@@StephenSmall-sf5um He was the best horse I've seen. Frankel was finally rated 2lb better than Dancing Brave by Timeform but didn't win over 1m 4f. For me DB was better. Possibly the likes of Sea Bird, Brigadier Gerard and Sea the Stars are on the same level but even if you don't think DB was the best he was very close to it.

Whenever a jockey decides to ride a horse so far back in the field, he increases the chances of various things happening which might prevent his horse winning. Top jockeys have come a cropper in big races when they were held up at critical points - it happened to the best of them, including Piggott on Nijinsky and Park Top, both in the Arc.

Sad day for racing when the lowered Dancing Braves best ever international rating of 141 to 138, just so Frankel could be top, fact is even at 138 he was higher rated than Frankel as a 3 year old 136, Dancing brave never raced as a 4 year old. When you think he was a very late fole he was amazing. Wonder what they will do now Flightline is rated 140...😅 all great horses.

Frankel Not as a 3 yo. Frankel probably as a 4yo. But the fact is the top 7 or 8 in this are all better than any horse that Frankle raced against.Think about it.
@markchapman293329 күн бұрын
Dancing Brave has always been Timeform 140, always will be. Frankel was 143 as a 3 year old and 147 as a 4 year old. Dancing Brave might have been capable of better had he raced as a 4 year old, so would plenty of others - but fact is they didn't run at 4. Dancing Brave disappointed final start at 3, so had he raced on may well of run to less than he did at 3. And any horse could be capable of better form than it's actually shown, it's just not in the form book so cannot be rated that way. Dancing Brave beat better horses but not by as far as Frankel.

@digeme692 ай бұрын
That is actually a common misconception as he rode DB twice more . Greville rode DB to victory in his next race the Coral Eclipse but then got injured and Pat took over for the King George. Greville then rode DB again in the select stakes at Goodwood before Pat took the ride in the Arc and the Breeders Cup. Khalid Abdullah wanted Pat for the Arc and it was his decision and Guy Harwood stood up for Greville after the Derby defeat. He continued to be the stable NO 1 jockey for Harwood and rode all the other horses in the yard with Tony Clark as the No 2
