Joe and the Brigadier! It was such a privilege to watch them racing live in the good of days. ❤
A great horse and a great jockey RIP Joe.
A True Gentleman and a brilliant Jockey Thank You Joe
The Frankel of his day...but beat better opposition.....in my opinion. Him and Joe...what a team....
He was better than Frankel
@@robertdelacy3434 now you've done it.
@@barbaradyson6951 why
@@robertdelacy3434 He surely was Robert and the opposition then was tough ' unlike Frankel and Enable their opponents were poor quality and had no stamina sir. Joe was a very acumlished horse man and modest too and his passing makes me sad at present. Also Joe rode Kris for Henry Cecil and won most of his races too and was given Momentous rides by Joe. Going back to the Brigadier he beat Mill Reef in the Guineas and that proves he was a all time great .Also rate Le Moss as a all time great stayer . Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
The Brigadier not only won all but one of his races but broke course records and beat quality fields of horses who won other big races. UA-cam vids will clarify that. And he won races from 5 to 12 furlongs and won on really soft ground. Did Frankel do that no!!
My favourite racehorse ever.
Welcome to the Club
A perfect gentleman and a really nice guy and a great jockey no stupid flying dismounts just got the job done rip joe
Frankie is the one you are throwing words at?
Correct only an idiot would do a flying dismount risking spooking a valuable horse hopefully one day he will break an ankle that will give him another excuse to take cocaine
@@martinmiller6984 that's a low blow but opinions are like assholes I was told. Everybody has one
I vividly remember his last race, The Champion Stakes at Newmarket, in 1972. The Brigadier won it for the 2nd year running. That final race, the ground was very soft, which The Brigadier hated . He won, but only just . His bravery, class and will to win got him home.
Class act ! On and off a horse stoicism personified loved his interview with Mike Cattermole . Intelligent, honest and as tough as old boots physically and mentally the way he handled the death of his brother who he idolised! Rip Joe
Unlike mouthy sorts

They were a terrific team, Joe had a lovely life, you could see by how well he looked in that interview. R.I. P. Joe
Legend
Brigadier vs Frankel now that would have been the race of the century
Brigadier Gérard Mill Reef My Swallow the best 2 000 Guineas ever in my opinion x only defeat to Roberto at York x Joe said he didn t feel right x tragedy to lose Joe x Lester x and Jimmy Lindley x in the space of a few months. X.
Don't forget Joe had a brother called Manny who was killed at Ascot.
