Yes, I well remember - before watching the race here - that Rodrigo de Triano finished 4th. The Epsom Derby had knocked him back a bit, and on this day he hadn't yet fully recovered. But of course after this he bounced back to have two superb victories over 10f in the Juddmonte International and Champion Stakes. I was at York the day he won the Juddmonte, and he was a very very good horse that day. Somewhat forgotten these days, but what a very good horse he was.
I know I go on about how bad O’Sullivan was as a commentator , but this race is THE perfect example ! He was SO fixated on Rodrigo de Triano that he didn’t even mention the eventual winner till the shadow of the post .. shocking commentary! … anyhoo 😅 The Kentucky Derby was written off as just a bad day at the office for Arazi.. this was the day the bubble burst totally and it became obvious he just hadn’t trained on as they would’ve liked , but what a 2yo !! 👍🏴
Peter O'Sullevan had it the wrong way around here and Kooyonga should only have kept the second race if Young Buster had got second in the photo finish. Kooyonga was the best horse on the day and Young Buster was never going to finish better than second but he would have finished there but for the interference from Kooyonga, whose jockey used his whip in the wrong hand and did little until it was too late to try to straighten her once she started drifting. So the only way to ensure that Young Buster ended up finishing second was to place Kooyonga third, unfortunately. These days the result probably would have stood because stewards today think that 'the result' is the winner only, so they never take into account bets like forecasts, each way, placepots and AvB.
I remember this well , I had that big tail swishing hoor Perpendicular E/W . BTW O’Sullivan was wrong AGAIN .. Young Buster finishing 3rd in the photo didn’t lessen in any way the possibility of Kooyonga losing the race , big Div that he was . If interference had taken place Kooyonga would’ve been placed either behind Young Buster or placed last , which meant my Hail Mary on Perpendicular would’ve been a story I’d still be waffling about 30 years later 🤣… Hang on !.. I AM still waffling about it 😝 👍🏴
i remember backing perpendicular 25/1 thought it was a steal, kooyonga loved getting disqualified at ascot as won a good bet on rock hopper one day kooyonga won easy then kicked out RH was second then promoted to winner
You won’t be surprised I went off the cliff with Lord Howard’s Rudimentary 🤦♂️.. so I don’t have a horse in the finish , I remember at the time thinking Dettori had fkd that up ! Got himself in a terrible position and had to use up his possible winning run going round the outside of Lahib who was brave to keep going . I SHOULDVE backed Second Set as he was the best horse in the race and I’d have been murderous after the race 😅 👍🏴

Yes he was world Class Keith.Ive just uploaded The York Race this morning.
As always an excellent video from the best racing channel on TH-cam.
Glad you think so!Much appreciated.Great ride from Willie in the first.
Bad ride from eddery on so factual
@michaelmcginley7930 Do you think sob?
That St. James's Palace Stakes was packed with talent. Also nice to see the young Dermot Weld.
The Great Dermot Weld, still training Group one winners 32 years later. Met him at Naas in 2017 an absolute Gentleman.
Yes a Wonderful Trainet.

He did win a lot more races to be fair but I seen an interview with Steve where he said he couldn’t go on fast ground.
@@HorseRacingLegends Arazi ? You sure ? I’ll look that up
👍🏴
@@HorseRacingLegends 2 inconsequential French races then stud , no he was never the same after his operation on his knee as a 2yo imho
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering think he wasnt a great success at stud
@@Pmrace1960 aye that’s right too 👏
👍🏴
O'Sullivan's voice will never be replicated
No never.
Thanks for this. Was there that day. My mate backed Brief Truce, 25 quid each way. Think he got 33's.
That was a great price.
cant wait to watch this
Enjoy.
This was great to watch and listen to , the 1970s and 80s were also great racing yrs
Yes agreed.
Racing had some class back then!!
Agreed.

Yes I would agree with you.
Splendid half hour of entertainment there , thanks very much btw 👏
👍🏴
Glad you enjoyed it Jay.Yes Jimmy Lindley thought Rodrigo was not ready for this after The Derby.He was bang on.
@@HorseRacingLegends yeah I noticed that too - good analysis 🧐
👍🏴
@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering World Class.
Was this REALLY 32 years ago, I remember the day well.
Yes times flies unfortunately
@@HorseRacingLegends Simpler times... My thanks for the memories.
@BugleCoops You’re welcome

You’re a legend.Great observations Jay.
@@HorseRacingLegends 😆cheers 🍺

Great to veiw the ild races lm 47 a started betting when a was 12
Glad you enjoyed it.
Remember the hype surrounding arazi because it snashed the breeders as a two year old but didn’t kick on as a three year old .
Yes it was a shame that.
remember bankering arazi in my placepot despite having grave reservations
Yes firm ground was his undoing
Brilliant memories
Thank you so much.

Good on you definitely
I didn’t remember the last but I have NO doubt I’d have went all in on Pico and Steve Cauthen 🤦♂️
👍🏴
Oh no lol.
Money was down on him
@@HorseRacingLegends yeah sadly most of it would’ve been mine. 😢

Yes he had to waste energy pulling out past those 3 Horses.Must have cost him.Great ride by Willie though at that age.
@@HorseRacingLegends 👍

Terrible ride from Frankie.

@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I’ve got the rematch coming soon.
Blind Pew could see Petardia had won how come it took so long for the photo🤣
They always made it a photo inside a half length no matter what.
@@HorseRacingLegends Derek Thompson calls a photo if there’s a length between them ‘i’ll leave that to the judge’
@geoffbanton4049 lol.
Piggot stone cold last on Rodrigo as they turned into the bend ,not one of his best Ascot rides
Yes he gave him plenty to do.Won The International next time out.
