It could be a real lottery and often the best horse didn't win (Night Nurse and See You Then both beaten). I think the Fred Winter has helped to improve the Triumph and we tend to see a lot more progress too.
30 runners wow that takes me back as a teenager don’t think you get 30 runners for the triumph these days which I think is a good thing as the other races like certain handicaps should be only big fields
Great race, Past Glories was one of my favourite horses at the time, High Knowl also
...tremendous finish.....always enjoyed the larger fields...more of a spectacle especially against the spectacular Cheltenham backdrop....
Was on Alone Success ante post great memories from my youth Some familiar names in the race.. 30 runners won’t see that again
Top race back in the day, always plenty of runners unlike nowadays thanks to the Fred Winter,
