Don't agree with you on a few points, Ron, I leave it at that. Christ, you'd think it was me who gave Sea-Bird II the ****ing rating, wasn't my bloody fault <laugh>. Wonderful racehorse. Had he managed to keep a straight line in his Arc, the winning distance would have been a bit further. Hell of a field he beat though. Ribot was brilliant but one nasty son-of-a-bitch. Frankel was the greatest IMHO. Trying to refresh the old memory on Tudor Minstrel, was just a young kid at the time. Remember the extreme disappointment in my old dad's pub when he lost the Derby, no one could believe it, everyone thought he was unbeatable. So, I guess he did deserve this very high rating, from what he had achieved up to Epsom?

Brilliant <laugh>

I think we're all drawn to years we remember well so for me that means mid to late 80s. Oh So Sharp, Pebbles and Dancing Brave would probably be my favourites.
 
How I forgot Pebbles I don't know. Fantastic filly. And my wife would never speak to me again if I didn't include Dancing Brave.
 
in 1965 ratings were what I gave to girls. Sea Bird was astonishing at Epsom. And in the same decade I was the only one of our horsey gang who thought that Vaguely Noble would win the Arc, so both are special for me.
 
Bollocks. Another one of my favourites I didn't mention - Vaguely Noble. He was some galloper
