    In 30+ years of loving horse racing, no horse has given me more of a wow factor visually than Sprinter Sacre.

    I have been following horse racing since 1961 but in all that time I have seen nothing to compare with the simply astonishing performance of Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle in March. There have been some great hurdlers down the years, but I don't think any of them would have lived with Constitution Hill this season. I cannot wait to see him in action in the coming months.

    • @kurman4749
      @kurman4749 Рік тому

      @@mrganddrlove Yes, I most certainly do mrganddrlove. Arkle was the greatest chaser I have ever seen and his performance in the 1965 Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown was truly mindblowing. Carrying 12 stone 7lbs he smashed the course record by 17 seconds and that still stands 58 years later. There will never be another chaser to compare with Arkle.

    • @rob9999i
      @rob9999i Рік тому

      To be honest I was probably more impressed with Constitution Hills win the previous year in the Supreme Novice. That was breathtaking. I'd give his CH win a solid 8/10 but in fairness be was heavy, heavy odds on to do so

    Cuecard winning the king George is probably the best race I've ever seen in my time watching racing it's one of those events/moments that comes straight to the fore kinda like Maurice Fitzgeralds point from an almost impossible angle or Man United in 99. BTW I hadn't him backed I'm not from Kerry nor do I support Man United but certain moments in time not only become historic but on some level also personal.
