There was one that is very unlikely to be on it - a battle between Frozen Alive (Stan Mellor) and Tudor Dance (Jeff King) one Saturday afternoon at one of Sandown/Ascot/Kempton. A fantastic race with the 2 horses head to head over the last 2 fences with 2 great jockeys chucking everything in. Blow me if they didn't repeat it a couple of Saturdays later with a 3rd horse in there as well (can't remember its name).

One of my favourite ever low-grade affairs was a marathon chase at Sandown, a year to the day of the aforementioned classic Tingle Creek, and run in near darkness!
Willie John Daly & Brave Spirit fought out the most incredible finish and hopefully some kind soul can't give us all a few thrills and throw it on youtube - I still have it on VHS somewhere |

I liked watching Mtoto and Pentire on the flat and Kilbrittain Castle and Remittance Man on the jumps.

Bula winning a handicap hurdle at Sandown under about 12-2, passing the whole field from the 2nd last, coming about 6 wide and getting up on the line to preserve his unbeaten record.

Bula was a superstar. Won 16 of his first 17 races over hurdles (incl 2 Champion Hurdles) - the 1 defeat came on his seasonal debut on his 14th race when he failed by a neck to give away 3 stone. Would probably have won the Gold Cup as a 10yo if it hadn't been hock deep ground - he finished 3rd; started fav for the Gold Cup the next year (11yo) - ran bad. His last race was as a 12yo, and he started fav for the 2 mile Champion Chase. He fell and injured himself, and was put down 2 months later.

Yes Killiney died that year as well. He still hasn't forgiven him.
It's fair to say Mr Pitman was never mentioned around the house much.. |

Remember those times also Pendil

The 1977 Champion Hurdle was a top class renewal. Night Nurse retained his crown beating Monksfield and Dramatist with Sea Pigeon in 4th and Bird's Nest 5th. For good measure Beacon Light was also in the field. Champion Hurdles don't come much better than that.
