My favourite Chic Murray joke ... The other day I saw a man carrying a long stick. 'Are you a polevaulter ?', I shouted to him. 'No', he replied. 'I'm german but how did you know my name was Walter ?'

It's not really the content that's funny. It's the delivery and timing

Fulke Walwyn's voice is incredible.

A cracker of a story beautiful told by Alan!!!

A master of the race finish. This is worth repeated viewing by ANY fan of "The Sport of Kings",. Thrilling stuff.

Mill House was still a fantastic horse even though Arkle had all the plaudits.

The most remarkable race with the most remarkable jockey. Even the American crowd knew who the great Lester was.

When horses were horses. Great names and great memories.

Monksfield was a warrior; connections weren't obsessed with preserving an unbeaten record

Wonderful coverage

It's a great shame that no footage exists of Mandarin's victory in the 1962 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Typically, the BBC has destroyed it.

Henry and Steve true legends

I remember watching that race live it was unbelievable was jumping for joy willie must have been peed off because it was the best IMHO

Repulsively incredible.

Thank you, that's wonderful. I'd never even heard of it. Sterling performance by JB. What a shame they didn't also invite Barry McKenzie to regale the Laureate with a rendition of The Old Pacific Sea.

I'm not sure that Betjeman was aware of the situation

2 superstars .

What a combination. First class both

So great to see this, thanks for posting. Amazing jumping by Mill House, the way he flew the railway fences was fantastic. So heartwarming to see the reception he got from the Sandown crowd.

Phenomenal 🏇🏇🏇Phenomenon 🏇🏇🏇💯Be King Lester🏇🏇🏇GRH👏👏👏🙏

Britain's best jockey and he trainec Sonny Somers too!

Real chasers unlike todays

RIP Parky❤

Moorestyle a great champion.

One of the most moving moment of Commonwealth Games History

The best ever

Unbelievable speed from Dancing Brave anyone who believes Frankel could of beaten him at 1m 4f are out of there mind.

I was standing by the 2 furlong marker... The Brave went past like a 5 furlong sprinter... Will forever be the best horse not to win the Derby... But winner of the greatest Arc to date

John Mc Master

Michael got his own back😂

Brilliant jockey and a very good horse. Lester piggott was a class act a legend.

Betjeman and Sir Les is a meeting that could not possibly occur in this dimension.

Why does England list odds as 6/4 instead of 3/2 like we do here?

When Alan Ball played for whitecaps for the cup final all the players were introduced and ran through a giant ball to run on to the pitch , Ball walked through 😂 it was awesome. Here to play not wasting any energy lol. Another whitecaps game in our version of a penalty shot shootout where you dribbled in and had to score with 5 seconds on the clock Willie had scored his attempt where as his old teammate on opposing team missed and Willie bent over and gave his buddy a bare ass . Red card and suspended. We saw him in the concourse next home game and I got to get his autograph! 8 years old he was my idol 😁

What a lovely man he was.

Farewell Barry, Farewell Les. I love this scene and I will remember it long, long after any Dame Edna scene. Beautiful.

Ulster❤❤❤

May Christ ⛪ bless Northern Ireland❤❤❤😊😊

The most memorable ride from Lester ,.. GG

Racing hasnt changed much Apart from political correctness trying to ruin White Society.

its a wonder the bbc allowed him he was light years ahead of his time excuse the pun

😂😂😂

Fred Winter remarkable jockey and great trainer x marvellous career x great horses. X.

Great footage of old Les showing the poms how to promote culture. One of his great lines he in another video l watched old Les sais there's a rumour going round there's no culture down in Australia we'll lm here to tell ya we got it coming out of our arse?? knowone could describe it better than a cultural icon such as Les. The look on Barry Humphries face at the end said it all.😁👀

Freddie a great horrse

No F-ing or swearing of any type. How times have changed. An England from yesteryears.

Arthur Atkins. Such a legend !!!

Steve Cauthen is wonderful
