[DANCING BRAVE]

did dancing brave run the last fur of derby faster than any other uk horse has
clocking 10.3 sec ? was around 22 len behind with 2 fur to travel
the acceleration was simply astounding!

Quote Simon Rowlands

Those sectional mark-ups suggest strongly that Dancing Brave “should” have won the 1986 Derby. As one wag in editorial just said to me “you don’t need sectionals to tell you that!” However, sectionals further suggest that Dancing Brave – who was beaten by half a length – could be rated the winner by about two and a half lengths. No late headway monkey, this, and I could see him winning a string of top-races, culminating in a remarkably strong Arc, before bombing out in America

Same thing happened to Nelson, a shell exploded and threw dirt into his eye Nothing like a bit of history

was really sad chesham it wd have been nice if it had shown his true colours
very few mid dist horses had that electrifying turn of foot at the end of a gr1 race
it simply cut down a quality Ark field like a knife through butter!!
