The start of Green and Gold
The start of Green and Gold
Takes me back to my Dad asking me to pick one in each race and going through the results at 18:00 every Saturday evening before getting fish and chips if i'd picked well.
He would have picked his own but made me feel like my selections were important

OH, BLIMETY - Horatio
I will have a field-day working my way through this lot, and trying to find other similar old videos
Only watched first one, so far - Always knew about the 'camera van' following the field from the A57 road alongside the length of the straight mile at Lincoln Racecourse; but the extra shots showing the whole BBC broadcasting set-up and direction was immensely revealing, and an astounding tribute to the technology that they used at the time. ✅
Watching that Lincoln Handicap - I thought - Winner Marshal Pil = Jockey Joe Sime - and the Runner-up Chalk Stream = trained by Eric Cousins.
Although I was too young to have seen the race at the time, I have, or rather now had, a long-standing love affair with the Lincoln Handicap, so was aware of of some the post-war results.
Well, I was nearly right - as Marshal Pil was trained by Sam Hall - who Joe Sime used to ride for - but the jockey in the Lincoln was Peter Robinson, top jockey to trainer George Lambton, and late a good trainer himself, and father of similarly future jockey Phillip Robinson

Enjoy Onlooker......I hope whoever has posted those amazing videos on You Tube gets credit for them.......Blows my mind....ENJOY!
HN. Just watched the first one and remember the first three. As Onlooker says Marshal Pil/Sam Hall Chalk Stream/Eric Cousins and if I've got this right Precious Heather/Towser Gosden (John's father). I was actually still at school when that Lincoln was run. More to follow when I get time.
Been watching pretty much from the start. Some rare stuff. There are a handful of uploaders who do an excellent job in keeping the old stuff alive. Long may they continue. Aberdonia used to promote this site.
Could not agree more.....the uploaders on YT deserve all the credit. Some brilliant recordings on there.
I just hope most enjoy what they find. Recordings on there way before my time, but some that remind me of my Father and all that he adored in the racing game, anything Henry Cecil or Lester Piggott would have him engrossed...
An amazing sport with so many characters.

Not sure what archives BBC and ITV have, but what's the point just sitting on history?
