He had 2 really hard races, the Derby and the Dante previous to this,where they broke the track record. Unfortunately the Derby bottomed him out and I think he had a back injury after the Eclipse. But what a brave little horse.
Erhaab was exceptional and if he did sustain an injury in winning this, which blunted him subsequently, it should never detract from this performance. Clearly the horse beaten in the King George by King's Theatre was not the same horse who had made King's Theatre look stationary here. Like awesome 2000 Guineas winners Zafonic and King's Best, we never saw his brilliance again.
Any other jockey might have given up knowing how much ground Erhab had to make up. Not Willie Carson though. He was the Force Of Nature. Undoubtedly the best jockey in my lifetime.
The great Lester Piggott's last ever Derby. I was really hoping he won this one to make it 10 wins in total. Fair play to Erhaab and Willie Carson though.
Mister Baileys was bidding to achieve the classic double for the first time since Nashwan but ended in fourth place. Erhaab is one of many Dante entrants to have won the Derby. Authorized is another example. Sad to see one jockey injured at the bend.
Goonerville Gonad it wasn’t the sharks best ride but I suppose you have to ride them like there going to stay ....tbh there was some shocking rides in this derby
Stu Rolls out 808,s True. In hindsight he’d have set a slower pace, but as you say, once the gates open he has to make a decision and was most probably told to ride it like it stayed anyway.
Erhaab class I rember Ezzoud beating Erhaab in that seasons dante shame grand lodge did not take on this race after just been beat in the 2000 guinea's by mister bailey's he got some compensation when he won at royal ascot st James palace stakes....
RIP Erhaab! Still my favourite Derby winner! Thanks for the memories!
@Tracey B Indeed young Tracey I took 4/1 and put a good wager on it what a beautiful day it was Willie Carson the best.
My first derby winner Tracey as a 9 year old boy
One of the greatest rides a man can give a race horse in the Epsom Derby History
My Hair Stands on End. Thank you, espmadrid. Your work to give us these memories. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)
What a Legend Willie Carson is Willie is simply thee Best
Probably the finest finishing burst in modern Derby history.
My favourite Derby
My first derby winning bet
willie did a troy with erhaab, seemed totally beat then class shone through....
Lammtara made a similar impressive finishing swoop 🏇💨
Robin Haberfield not probably Robin, I was there and it was devastating to watch...wonderful and one of the best I’ve seen
@@kevinmunday5782 indeed. Troy's opposition was a far stronger field than this one as well👍
Let’s respect a great rider, bobbed and weaved and then let that magnificent horse just do the impossible...was there, unforgettable, thanks UA-cam
A fantastic ride!
Arab horse with the best jockey Willie Carson

When the Derby had runners erhaab also the last Wednesday Derby winner a great burst had my paper round money on it and the second
The derby was so exciting, till it became a testimonial for aiden 'o' brien and his battalion of runners every year .....🙁🙁
oh yes my first derby winner as a nine year kid erhaab on the day was class probably Carson's finest hour
I think Willie would say nashwan ?
Wow , I remember this race as if it was yesterday . Was shiting my pants as I had £100 on erhaab. But when i saw him turning on that turbo...oh my.

He'd already broke the course record at York in the Dante prior to this
It's not the movie, it's King's Theatre.

Great ride very good horse
5.24 ....It's between these 3 now....Willie Carson had other ideas.

25 runners!
WoW!!! TURBO
The tote paying out 4 places on a G1..
5:33-5:40 of Goode Commentator is used on some 2p horse machines in Arcades
And the winner number one red rum
Erhaab won that seasons dante before winning the derby, he was beaten at newmarket in the Fielden stakes.
One of my cousins had mr bailey’s I had kings theatre and another cousin had erhaab. Forget the horses for a sec have you seen the jockey line up
WHOOOOOOOOSHHHHH
Rob wills is standing at the winning line in his surcurity uniform on, later to be known as the muskerteer
Mister Bailys missed a chance to nick that. Could have set slower fractions and used it's pace, but Weaver rode it like it stayed.
Goonerville Gonad it wasn’t the sharks best ride but I suppose you have to ride them like there going to stay ....tbh there was some shocking rides in this derby

John Tyrrell's last Derby
Also, the last derby run on the Wednesday... I was there!!!
Better horses than sat 2024
EEAAAZEEEEEEE
Erhaab class I rember Ezzoud beating Erhaab in that seasons dante shame grand lodge did not take on this race after just been beat in the 2000 guinea's by mister bailey's he got some compensation when he won at royal ascot st James palace stakes....
no you didnt
Erhaab won the Dante..👍👍
bring it back to Wednesday and only allow a trainer 2 runners at the most, get rid of the O Brien monopoly
If that was the case there be hardly any runners because the English are usless
@@robertdelacy3434 im not talking about the Irish in general ,i say the same if an English trainer had 6 runners in the field
its between these three - not a great commentary...Erhaab closing in 4th at the time
