    Great compilation. Peter O'Sullivan will never be surpassed.
    We were near the winning post for the 1977 Red Rum, having watched Liverpool/Everton earlier that day.
    Wonderful memories....👍

    Simon Holt's King George (Enable v Crystal Ocean) is a cracking commentary but one everyone should try and listen to is John Hunt's commentary for 5live of Sprinter Sacre's second QMCC victory. A truly iconic piece of radio👌.

    Denman is one of my fav horses and I won a few quid, for a change , on the race. But I saw the way Neptune stayed on and backed him from 80/1 downwards for his National. I no doubt lost to the layers over the years but these two days gave me great joy.

      @Alan Sharp. Most folks watching will not know about that - too young, and I agree with you, the best commentary ever. Many of the comments on here are about a horse winning a race. The subject of the video is the commentary not the way in which a horse won a race.

    I've switched my like on this video to be the first dislike on it. That's because the title is a farce. This is only horse racing commentaries at Jockey Club owned racecourses. This means that races such as Desert Orchid winning the Victor Chandler at Ascot, Dancing Brave or Sea The Stars winning the Arc, Arazi winning the Breeders Cup Juvenile, Secretariat winning the Belmont, Denman's second Hennessy, Tidal Bay winning the Irish Hennessy and many others by definition cannot even be included in the misleading and embarrassing list. Title the video as the top 10 commentaries at your courses (and even then it's debatable).
