Arkle finished that race like a Derby winner.
❤❤❤❤
I saw pat taffe being interviewed by Richard Pitman Julian Wilson was also there and Kyoto Star had won the king George or the gold cup I'm not sure but it was the second or third win in the race and Richard Pitman asked Pat taffe if Arkle would have beaten Kyoto Star and taffe replied he'd have given him three stone and STILL beaten him 😂 And Julian Wilson said and I have to agree I don't think any chaser on the planet 😲 today's could have stayed alongside Arkle in his prime and Julian Wilson knew his horses 🐴
Himself as he was so rightly called POS was correct 💯 we'll never see the likes of him again what A wonderful steeplechaser 😊 A One off you often hear the saying One in a million but with Arkle I Think he was unique WELL AS POS Said will we ever see the likes of him again I Think NOT 😉 PEACE ✌️ Dublin Ireland 😜
The most salient aspect of Arkle's career was that the going was immaterial: the horse was as effective on lightning fast ground as well as soft and heavy. Mill Reef, a great flat champion was similarly blessed.
Brings tears to my eyes.
The greatest period, forget kauto star
The funniest thing about the race is that Pat Taaffe looks exhausted at the end of it while Arkle looks as though he could go around again and there is no doubt he would have won the Grand National even carrying 12st 7lbs had he run in it.
Arkle is a poem written by Andrew Evzona on 2nd June 2020 Arkle, just the mere name conjures up the magic So sad that his career ended in a manner so tragic He was born in Meath,Ireland, on 19th April 1957 And on 30th May 1970, he left us and went to heaven It is true, he was really named after a Scottish mountain He began to race and thrill the public again and again His owner was Anne, who was Duchess of Westminster His jockey Pat Taaffe, and, his trainer Tom Dreaper He was so nimble on his feet ,and, he never fell Could he be the greatest ever chaser, time would tell There was excitement in the air, as, all talk was of Mill House England's champion, they were set to meet as cat and mouse Their first clash in 1963 at Newbury, Mill House easily won Though Arkle had landed in a divot, and ,his race was run Pat told the winning jockey ,that, he'd never beat him again The Cheltenham Gold Cup was the stage to revenge the pain And, so they met on Saturday 7th March 1964 An army of fans for both champions, and, what a roar! Mill House set the pace ,with, Arkle ready for the test Only two others competed, looking for third place at best The pair were far ahead, as they approached the final jump Pat Taaffe confident, and, ready to play his decisive trump One kick, and, he was away, as Arkle powered up the hill Arkle was the new champion, it had been such a thrill He dominated for three years, as, nothing could get near The only way he'd lose was if his weight was too severe Won twenty two out of twenty six ,and, was placed in the other four Broke the track record at Sandown by seventeen seconds for sure His career ended abruptly, aged 9, when he cracked a pedal bone On 27th December 1966 at Kempton, he was out in front alone Sadly, Dormant caught him ,only, just before the winning line Could he ever recover fully, and, was there enough time? It wasn't meant to be, and, he had run his final race He still appeared at many venues, put a smile on peoples face He was referred to as "Himself", the greatest racehorse ever seen His skeleton remains at the National Stud, Arkle ,everyones dream
I have watched Arkle's racing career from when he first burst on the scene in 1963, although he had been winning small races in Ireland before that. There will never be a chaser to compare with this titan of the turf, he was simply unique. Tomorrow, March 7th, it will be exactly 60 years to the day since Arkle defeated Mill House in the 1964 Cheltenham Gold Cup. It was run on a Saturday that year and Arkle started at odds of 7/4 with Mill House favourite at 8/13.

@@andrewevzona2876 That's the first time I've seen that poem, in fact, I didn't know that one existed. It has certainly done him justice. My sincere thanks to you, Andrew, for posting it.
Love the fact that this video ends with the iconic question. The speed he flashes past the post. Incredible.
The only time i wish i was older,just to have been able to have seen Arkle in the flesh
I saw him twice, including on this occasion at Sandown. I was holding the binoculars (no big screens!), and when Mill House took the lead again with about 4 to jump I remember my friend saying anxiously, "Tell me Pat's just giving him a breather?!" - just as Arkle moved up to sweep by again. Magic memory.
The greatest, there will never be another like him
A freak.
Great race ooh mighty one Arkle, few modern trainers would have the sand to run a horse of this class in handicaps in the modern era. Paul Nichols might be an exception but most others would not even think about it. Great to see one of my all time favorites Rondetto bettering Mill House for 2nd. Some great jockeys out there, Nicholson, King and others. Just don’t get racing like this anymore and I doubt we will ever see another Arkle.
Along with golden miller both legends
"promo sm"
Arkle simply the greatest steeplechase ever , the greatest performance ever , it was said this broke Mill House s heart , in a great era of top steeplechasers Pas Seul and Rondetto were also great horses , we ll never see the likes of Arkle again , in what was a nostalgic era for top steeplechasers and jockeys , but at least we had him to cherish his memories and old films like this keeps those wonderful memories alive forever .
No, there will never be another chaser to compare with Arkle.
Commentating when you already know the result is a bit laughable. I think O Sullevan was brought out of retirement to do this, his voice was heading south.
The best steeplechaser ever
When Frankel won his 2000g we were led to believe it was the 1st time a horse had been clapped home from some way out. Just listen to the crowd when Arkle really opens up 2 out. Goosebumps
I wander if anyone actually watch the race live in 1965
I watched it live on TV but unfortunately not in the flesh
@@MrDccrombie Same with me. ITV covered the race and Tony Cooke was the commentator.
Peter O'Sullevan had one too many before the race i think
He was getting old when he recorded this. Race was shown on ITV, O'Sullevan did this not long before he passed away.
There have been many many great racehorses over the years but there has only ever been one Arkle. He was, by a country mile, the greatest steeplechaster of all time. No disrespect to the great Millhouse but Arkle made him look like a cart horse. Hell we're still talking about Arkle 57 years later.
That is just incredible
As I said before there is not a horse alive , dead or still to be foaled that could come anywhere close to himself
At level weights I meant- but even conceding 20lbs nothing would touch him
The acceleration of himself is unbelievable- a freak of nature- nothing would finish in the same post code at level weights
What song is this?
Difficult to find the right words to describe this horse, his weight-carrying performances were beyond astounding. It's highly unlikely there will ever be another horse like him. He was the greatest of them all!
I remember watching Arkle win many races on tv and although I was only around 12 years old I just knew I was watching something special. Like many comments on here he was head & shoulders above anything else. Owner the Duchess of Westminster (colours yellow with black hoop, black cap) also owned Last Suspect winner of the 1985 Grand National.
And mill house ran the same time as the year before when he set the course record just shows how phenomenal arkle was mill house was a great horse
Mill House remains the greatest English trained chaser ever and it was an insult to his memory for Timeform to rate Kauto Star his equal as Mill House would have thrashed him over any course or distance you like and Denman proved superior to Kauto Star also.
Mill House loved Sandown Park as he was to prove 2 years later when he made nearly all the running to win the Whitbread Gold Cup with an exhibition of jumping. On his day, and this was one of them, Mill House was a seriously brilliant chaser.
Brilliant well done all great organising
Arkle as proven by his total career results remains the greatest racehorse to ever walk the planet ...no question and only a premature end to his career cost him an unprecedented 6 Cheltenham Gold Cups as later results in 1967,68 and 69 proved. The 1969 winner What A Myth was 12 years old ,the same age as Arkle would have been, and when they met as 9 year olds Arkle was good enough to beat him when conceding THREE STONES in weight to him. His like was never seen before, has never been seen since, and will never be seen again!
👍👍👍👍👍
I think it is stretching credulity to extrapolate that Arkle would have won 6 Cheltenham Gold Cups simply because the 1969 winner What A Myth had been beaten by Arkle 3 years previously and that Arkle would also have been 12. So many imponderables are at play here and, as we all know, horse racing isn't a perfect science and horses are not machines.
Seriously ??? Arkle was a one-off phenomenon whose like had never been seen before or since his time and IF he had stayed sound and lined up in the next 3 Gold Cups he would have won them all with his head in his chest just as he did in 1965 and 1966!
@@kurman4749 I like your posts - sensible.
@@andrewevzona2876 You make some very bold assumptions.
Mexican beef?
I would have seen this race as a kid but I don’t remember it, so it’s very special to be able to relive it. I’ve just finished reading Robin Oakley’s 100 Greatest Racehorses Of All Time (UK and Ireland). Arkle naturally was No 1 and it’s easy to see why. So many great horses have come and gone since he reigned supreme and whilst some have their own place in racing history, Arkle will always be the greatest. The book is a lovely read too, learned so much about other great horses from way before my time.
Yes, I've read Robin Oakley's book too and I agree with his assessment of Arkle. However, I take issue with his choice of Frankel as the greatest Flat horse. That distinction, for me anyway, goes to the Epsom Derby and Arc winner of 1965 Sea Bird II.
It would be nice to have the actual ITV commentary of this race, not a fake one. It would be good to have footage of Tony Cook and John Rickman.
You're right! I was thinking what a subdued commentary it was, quite uncharacteristic of O'Sullevan - but he was just adding a voice-over to the pictures.
The jockey on Mill House went for home to early. Pat TAFE just sat there biding his time.
He would have been beaten even farther....arkles turn of foot after the last, was superior...slow run race, or fast run.
Peter O'Sullevan voiceover the ORIGINAL commentary by Tony Cooke..
Taking nothing away from these wonderful horses , why on earth did Nicholson go for home so early. If I was Millhouse’s owner , Nicholson would never ride him ever again. He unbalances Millhouse at nearly every fence , too. His job as jockey was to sit still and move in sympathy with his horse, yet all the time he works against his mount. The very fact that old Rondetto finished second , after earlier making a howler at a fence , demonstrates my point exactly! Uphill finish at Sandown and Nicholson sets sail for home 5 furlongs out like it’s a sprint...nothing left in the tank , Millhouse running on empty!
Still wouldn't have won..... the old record had,nt been set long by mill House! Arkle smashed 17 SECONDS off it!!!!
I fully agree that Arkle still would have won and easily. My point is that that was not known until after the race itself ! To all intents Nicholson was put up with a job to do and he gave Millhouse an abysmal ride.
@@mickeypip1524 He set the race up perfectly for Arkle to set the record... blistering pace, Arkle just behind, then whoosh!!! Nothing before or since has come up that hill the same,..it's breathtaking! And with 12-7 on his back. " Not only his he the best I,ve ever seen but he is other worldly" is what lord oaskey said to describe it!
I think they tried to take the sting out of Arkle, especially with him carrying extra weight.........they failed miserably.
He was told to make the running by f welwyn make make every post a winning post with his weight advantage but he forgot ARKLE Was a phenomenon
Incredible Arkle! Just watching him gallop to the line has brought a lump to my throat. He was truly special. Horse racing at its absolute best.
Incredible performance from arkle. Mill house was a grand horse in his own right he was a gold cup winner after all but arkle give him over a stone an a 20 length beating. Some performance
2 stone 20 length beating and Arkle broke the track record by 17 seconds .....millhouse also broke the track record that day , just let that sink in .
@@roberto4001000 16 lb, not 2 stone....though the way he won, and the distance he won by, 2stone would have made no difference!
Shame we never got to see Arkle face Flyingbolt.... A couple occasions in this race where he closed the gap effortlessly.....what a horse
The increase in speed was effortless- absolute amazing- no horse would come anywhere near himself at level weights
Arkle was superior to Flyingbolt and raced against far better horses including 4 other Gold Cup winners and a Champion 2 mile chaser Dunkirk who would have given Flyingbolt a very good run for his money in the 1966 Champion 2m Chase had he not been tragically killed when caught by Arkle at the 3rd last fence at Kempton.
A fantastic horse !
And I was there! What a horse!
Are you Max?
Winx won 25 Group 1's how is 22 Grade 1 wins a world record?
Jumps
Wow, never realised how good arkle was !!
Didnt do the 3 champion hurdles in a row at cheltenham. Istabrag is the true king
Wow 22 grade 1 wins in think that makes him the king
Just for one moment consider that in a grade 1, over 3.2 miles all at level weights how far Arkle would win against any other top 20 horses in history.
He would beat any NH horse on levels....even could Win a champion chàse, ( levels) he once won a 2mile novice chase with 12stone 11 pounds!!!!!! One man did it...In my opinion Arkle could....he had loads of speed.
As far as he needed probably
"Will We Ever see another one like Him again??"........Nope....
This is the most spectacular moment, in my opinion, in the History of Steeplechasing in the UK or Ireland. The way Arkle looms up on Mill House before the pond fence sends a shiver up the spine.
Sir Peter must have been quite old when he did the commentary, which was obviously added many years later
My grandfather would say he put a bet on Arlkle for me and when he won I always got sixpence, I always thought I had a bet on Himself, the best chaser ever
