He was a good horse on his day. Did well at Aintree, though a dificult ride. Francome won very cleverly on him at Ascot the season after this, timed his run to perfection.
ah, Little Bay. Not a rogue, but a rascal - very difficult to predict, and timing the challenge was usually the key. Francome seemed to have him just right that day.
Oh man - just the sound of Peter O'Sullevan and the graphic that says BBC GRANDSTAND - brings back some great times and memories - as a kid getting to learn this sport on Saturday afternoons with the ITV7 as well !
