Plus the fact that Dessie could mix it with the 2m, 3m and 3m5f handicappers. Horse had everything.. You wouldn't see Kauto lumping 11-12 round 3m at Sandown would you? Plus the money back then wasn't great and there was no real grading system for the races like the Gold Cup and the Chivas Regal
I agree. But it was his 7th race of the season, all of the highest class. Tired horse. You wouldnt get that nowdays. Kauto Star runs 3 times at most. And people have the cheek 2 say he's better than Dessie. Wot a laugh
Can't believe how the mildmay course at Aintree has changed in over 20 years.. Great video by the way!!! Pity he fell in the race the following year when dessie and Charter Party hit the deck at the first on the final circuit!
