  • Monster! What a performance this was from the mighty Sprinter Sacre who broke the course record at Newbury on the bridle in the 2012 Betfair Game Spirit Chase!
    "I'm not sure I've ever ridden anything like that - he's electric," said Barry Geraghty afterwards!

    During 2012 & 2013 I believe Sprinter Sacre was the best chaser since Arkle and his 'comeback' win in the 2016 Champion Chase will always remain my favourite race.

      Yeah that comeback was awesome, but as for recent speedster chasers i think master minded and Moscow flyer might have something to say about that

      @@markholt7952 On one day Master Minded was awesome, though in retrospect he didn't beat any great quality that day.In Moscow Flyer you have a point, though in 2013 Sprinter Sacre was winning in the manner of an Arkle, on the bridle, never out of second gear. I remain firm, in 2013 Sprinter was the best chaser since Arkle. Now, of course, Kauto Star might have to be second to Arkle, and on his day Denman might be third. But your point of view is just as valid as mine or anyone else.

      @@keithknight1686 I was thinking just the speed horses, the 2 milers, difficult to compare kauto or denman to sprinter or Moscow, I think those three have stood above the rest in my life, flagship uberallis was good, and edredaun bleu was a tool, direct route a machine too but those three we mentioned just a cut above the rest, well chief and asertyuiop classy too but got battered so many times by moscow, I'd say on their day only a couple of lbs between the three, I'd probs be a slight Moscow fan if pushed though, although sprinters comeback was like a rocky film just incredible!!

      @@keithknight1686 strangely I tend to like the speed horses and graceful jumpers even over the 3m but for some reason I was always more of a denman the tank fan than kauto, which was weird cos kauto had everything I liked, I remember backing denman the year he won, I can't remember why was just running a bit better but for kauto to come back, that was incredible too, I always feel like best mate is the forgoton gold cup horse for some reason

    Sprinter is my favourite horse of all time bar none - I had the pleasure of visiting him at Vicky Robert’s stables recently and he still looks magnificent. So difficult to rate a horse that travelled like him in that 2012/2013 season. It’s absolutely amazing to me that Timeform rated his 2016 Champion Chase win 2 stone (!) inferior to to his 2013 win. That really puts things in context. Sprinter had it all - sheer class and talent in 2013 and class and heart in 2016. To quantify things, Timeform are saying that if the 2013 Sprinter had run in the 2016 Champion Chase the winning margin would have been about 30 + lengths ( i.e actual winning margin plus 28!) Can anyone imagine that in a Grade 1 race!! He is a horse of a lifetime for me! Bless him.

    Sprinter Sacre's the best chaser I've seen. The run he had from his chasing debut to this, to the Arkle, the Tingle Creek, the Victor Chandler, his first Champion to the Melling and Punchestown I've never seen anything like. All the opponents were basically cooked with 2 fences remaining and he was pretty much never off the bridle. Phenomenal horse

    I've been watching racing since 1961 and the two greatest 2 mile chasers I have seen have been Flyingbolt and Sprinter Sacre. Flyingbolt won , what is now the QMCC, on the Tuesday of the Festival in 1966, and the very next day was a close third in the Champion Hurdle. He was a truly incredible 2 mile chaser and only injury prevented him from notching further successes in the QMCC. Sprinter Sacre is definitely the best I have seen since Flyingbolt.
