For anyone interested in past races

[Scotia]

Cheers Arazi great idea. Not being a youtube follower I never knew you could get all these old races to watch again.

Many thanks for puting me in that direction – keep them coming.

Anybody put me in the direction when Ireland’s King of Kings dethroned French champion Xaar to land a first British classic for trainer Aidan O’Brien in the Sagitta 2000 please.

Arazi

Thanks very much for all this, some wonderful horses and races.

The 1996 Champion Chase won by Klairon Davis is a particular favourite: a heart-stopping sprint with Viking Flagship and Sound Man over the last few fences, culminating in that tremendous ‘three in a line’ final fence.

Any footage of Wayward Lad?

Dublin Flyer was brilliant over those National fences that day he won the John Hughes under top weight.

Dublin Flyer was brilliant over those National fences that day he won the John Hughes under top weight.

Blimey, not half. I’d forgotten just how good a weight-carrying performance that was! A conspicuously bad race for fatalities, though, with Avonburn, Latent Talent and Roxton Hill all perishing, and I certainly remember some animal activist types making huge capital out of it in the student union building the following day.

I digress. This continues to be an absolutely terrific thread, Arazi, pregnant with fantastic footage and memories. More if you’ve got any, please!

How frustrating that we never got to see Monsignor race again after his Cheltenham victory.

[Fist of Fury 2k8]

Thanks Arazi everyone of them a pleasure to watch especially Istabraq who was my final big punt before retiring to Asia,,,,,,what a performnce to make it 4 out 4 at Cheltenham.

Think you must have posted more races up in a few weeks than those ***** at the BBC have ever done..if indeed they have or will ever let us see any of the old races they are hoarding.

[Arazi]

The best four 2m Chasers that I have seen are Remittance Man, Moscow Flyer, Azertyuiop & Well Chief. Here are a few races they won or raced in. I’m sure the majority will be interested in the races involving MF, Azerty & WC but anyone who remembers RM should enjoy the Clips of him. The 2004 Arkle Chase, 2004 Champion Chase, 2004 Tingle Creek & 2005 Champion Chase were put on Youtube by other people but I’ve linked them here as well so that you see all of the main races involving the big three. All of the clips here that I have put on Youtube only have the closing stages of each race.

I only got into racing a few years back and I’m only 26 so my main interests have been the horses of the past few years, all the above are greatly of interest Arazi so thank you so much, you are a diamond mate, I’m sat here bored and wide awake at the moment so will watch all of these now..

Thanks again for all your efforts posting these.

Regards,

Chris.

[Chris B]

Isio’s 2004 Victor Chandler win was brilliant! Never thought he’d beat Azertyuiop just after the last jump!

[Chris B]

Doesn’t really tell the story of the race. Azertyuiop was carrying 11-12, with Isio on 10-10 I believe.

Oh

[Fist of Fury 2k8]

I thought I read it was this coming year they were hoping to have him back and that his target is a race at Newbury. Still a long way off to tell if he will be ok or not.

[Arazi]

These show all of the races that Desert Orchid was involved in from his first run of the 89/90 season to his last run of the 90/91 season.

1999 Feltham Novice Chase – Gloria Victis[/url:29qyszyj]
2000 Racing Post Chase – Gloria Victis[/url:29qyszyj]

Gloria Victis was such an exciting horse to watch, really attacked his fences and galloped his rivals into the ground. Such a huge shame that we lost him in the Gold Cup.
