@TheKnowledge1 yep giving the runner up 22 pounds who just happened to win the grade 1 Lexus chase and the grade 1 aintree bowl in his next 2 races.....
My favourite race of all time. No disrespect to the commentator, but the Simon Holt channel 4 commentary was extremely passionate and fitted the triumph of Denman perfectly. The channel 4 video of this race used to be on youtube years ago but vanished😕
In 2008 I was standing next to a guy with binos he said who have you backed ? I said DENMAN. He said go and queue up lad and there was still over a mile to go !!
Worth watching over and over again. An exhibition of jumping, stamina and raw power. The tank will long live in the memory of true racing fans.
All out in a handicap

One of the greatest weight carrying performances ever!! Awesome horse and performance 👌
No kidding einsteinium
Been watching since 1967 and he's still my favourite steeplechaser of all time... Denman the Tank !
JUST WATCHING DENMAN IS A TREAT FOR ALL HORSE RACING ENTHUSIASTS!!
The best weight carrying performance by a horse since the days of Arkle .
You really need Simon Holt on commentary to do this justice - Proper race
I agree. This guy is the worst commentator

Can’t believe it’s 15 years ago 👀
What a legend
I was there and it was an incredible atmosphere when he won. My wife's favourite horse so she had a good bet on him.
The time denman came 2nd to kauto star was emotional for me
Was really proud of that horse that day
What a jump at the last absolute legend?👍

He destroyed the field that year.
Do you mean 2007?
Hard as nails the tank. My favourite horse of all time. Many are better but few as gutsy.
Backed hom that day absolutely brilliant
What a horse!!!
A time when trainers would run grade one horses in handicaps!
Carry weight that would of stopped a train .What a Giant i thought this was even more impressive than his gold cup
