No horse in the future or history gets near Arkle the best of all time RIP the moster Arkle
Wow! Especially like the sound of the hoofbeats.
35 pounds difference between the Winner and the second,with 12 Stone seven on his back,still brings a tear to my eye,the best racehorse of all time,flat or Jumps.
👍🇮🇪
Unquestionably the greatest race horse
Incredible horse. We will never see his equal
Simply the best horse ever.
What a horse.... kauto, Denman......no chance with Arkle at levels
Freddie was one of the best hunter chasers ever, and Arkle gave him 32lb and trounced him 15 lengths. A difference of 47lb at the weights.
@@beverleymorris167 would have been a race to savour had Arkle ever raced stablemate Flyingbolt...timeform only had a few lbs between them Ted Walsh openly states Flyingbolt achieved more in winning it's races.
@@pauladams1924 that's ted ..did he ever ride him in a race....no.
Pat taaffe rode both of them and mill House.
He said in his book , "Arkle with a bit in hand" due to his
superior speed after the last
It probably would have ended same way as when mill House went a blistering pace in the Gallagher gold cup....then be done by the unbelievable finishing speed of Arkle. Taaffe actually said mill House was better than flyingbolt. Only the jockey truly knows 👍
@@beverleymorris167 Flyingbolt won Thyestes at Gowran off 12st, beating second a distance giving it 2 st. 7 weeks later returned to 2 miles and won Queen Mother champion chase, turned out the next day and under a poor ride finished close 3rd in champion hurdle...then barely 3 weeks later runs in Irish national off 12st 7 beating the placed horses that Arkle beat previous year giving them more weight. Flyingbolt would have beaten Arkle over 2 miles and it would have been the race of the ages to see them off levels over 3 miles. "Jockey Barry Brogan, who rode him to his final victory at Haydock, was Dreaper's assistant and stable amateur during the 1965-1966 season and had ridden both Arkle and Flyingbolt in their work. In his autobiography, he says:
"In my view Flyingbolt was probably the best horse I ever rode - even better than Arkle. I honestly believe that he would have beaten Arkle in the 1966 Gold Cup if Tom Dreaper had allowed him to run."
In a subsequent interview with the Racing Post in December 2008, more than 25 years after the publication of his autobiography, he re-affirmed his comments when he said, "For all Arkle's brilliance, I felt Flyingbolt was the better horse. If Pat Taaffe was alive, he'd tell you the same."
Arkle "the great". Just look at him about 12 feet of horse under pat taaffe longest stride of any thoroughbred ever. The King
The greatest chaser by a mile ever what a tremendous horse arkle was
a true champion, but only a lb or 2 better than stable mate, even on Timeform..... Flyingbolt was also a machine...worth checking info on wikipedia.
Flyingbolt was a tremendous horse over 2and a half mile but over 3 mile plus arkle was unbeatable at level weights
@@pauladams1924 pat taafe said Arkle was "at least a stone" better.
He rode both in races ...so he should know.
Definitely
My father seen them all born in 1930s said arkle was king
