    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....👍

    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.

    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).
