    He isn't a machine - machines break down; Denman is quite simply the TANK. This still gives me goosebumps and makes me emotional 158 months later to the day.

    Denman was a great horse, and that wasn't just a great race, it was a great occasion. The buildup was like Coe v Ovett in 1980. Who would win ? Nobody knew, not even Ruby, but the answer was indeed Denman.

      Lester must've been on the booze when he said that because Denman who had an outstanding season absolutely BUT he wouldn't get near Arkle & Kauto Star was way better that Denman too. But don't take my word, just check who's higher rated & what Ruby Walsh says is the better horse. In fact don't need to get Ruby's opinion, he picked the horse he thought was the best & stuck with Kauto Star every time. Say no more eh!

  • @Sahkee2001
    @Sahkee2001 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Denman would never have won a Tingle Creek or a King George. Kauto Star was undoubtedly the more brilliant and classier horse. However, over 3.2 at Cheltenham, his head-to-head score with Kauto Star reads 3-1 in his favour. Denman was a truly great horse and not kept to Graded company.

    Back when racing was great. They look after them too much these days, you wouldn't see a jockey pulling the whip turning in when 10 lengths clear today. They'd be looking over their shoulders and holding to try and win without even using the whip.
    Good for the horses I guess but terrible for punters. Which is more important to the industry? Horses or punters? Suppose it depends on money. If you want money in the sport then punters are just as important as the horses themselves. If money isn't the objective then the horses are most important.

      @@robertdelacy3434, yeah because human beings are well known for respecting animal welfare. HAHA
      Listen, without the punters horse racing would be an amateur sport. These horses are bred to run, they should be ridden to win races. That way the best horses rise to the fore. I have seen horses lose races because they are being looked after. Main reason I don't bet these days, that and the fact everything else goes against punters, things like steward enquiries are complete joke these days. They struggle to get the start right, I have seen horses be given 10 lengths at the start of a 2 mile race. I could jump the fences they put out these days, it's a joke. The bookies limit what you can bet to a few hundred quid too and are regulated out their arseholes. I know so many big time gamblers who simply do not bother anymore with it. And people wonder why there is no money in racing nowadays! If it carries on like this professional horse racing will be a thing of the past. National Hunt anyway. The flat is different because of all the Sheiks involved who drive the money up.
      Mark my words, we will never see a performance like this one again at Cheltenham again.
