Greatest thing about this race for me was the crowd. I was there. They didnt cheer they just all stood up and started clapping. Everyone knew they were watching the greatest horse ever

Dancing Brave. One of my favourite horses of all time.

Dancing Brave always took a while to hit top gear, but when he hit that gear he was something very special.

Hi there he will always be for me the best racehorse of all time only mill reef would have tested him

[@elgransenor1965]

Dancing Brave was without doubt, the greatest horse to run in The Derby and not win it.

@@mrsilverbuck3181 he is my favourite racehorse of all time ,still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up watching those old races especially the 86 arc .I never thought I would see a better racehorse than the brave let alone wearing the same colours

Effortless whenever he appeared (minus the Derby....less said).
Fabulous horse, and we can't say that very often !!
