1 of the best sporting occasions I've ever seen. Great trainer and jockey unfortunately she was owned by a greedy owner who should never have sent here to France to race after a hard season
After she fell at the first,at Aintree next time out. Jonjo told them, that's it. Should have been retired, immediately after Cheltenham. Probably the best Steeplechase I've ever witnessed. I still cry for Wayward Lad.

What a shame this great mare wasn't owned by J.P. McManus instead of a greedy owner. The scenes after the Gold Cup shows us what it meant. What a tough mare.
You're joking. After falling at it's very next fence,at Aintree. Reinforced the fact,she should have been retired in the Winners Enclosure,at Cheltenham,along with Jonjo O-Neill.
Memory is not what it was.? But I seem to remember that DR ran next in the AINTREE BOWL? and fell at the first fence. Subsequently then went to France and met with her untimely demise. Is that correct?

Fantastic wee horse small in stature but had the heart of a lion. As someone else said there greed on the owners part got the mare killed. In the French Champion Hurdle she fell and broke her neck.
Bit of excessive use of the whip there.love to smack him in the neck a few times with it.greed got this great mare killed when she broke her leg after this. What a fabulous horse she was

My God, she couldn't jump a twig! How the hell she won that I will never know. On another point the commentary by the so called ' Voice of racing was shockingly bad.
Sir Peter O-Sullivan,made numerous comments,as to her shocking mistakes, especially at the 3-rd Last Fence. Wayward Lad,was like a homing Pigeon,and had it in the bag. She would not be denied
The best cheer I have heard at Cheltenham ever
What a great and brave horse dawn run was a vintage gold cup.rip dawn run.
What a great mare, Dawn Run, no need to say more 🌹 xxx
The pride of Kilkenny
One of the greatest
What a finish!

Got to be best horse race over sticks ive seen , what a horse dawn run was shame greed killed her
She was never a chaser in Wayward Lads class as a jumper. She should have been retired that day.
@@stephenholmes1036 why ?she wasn't but 8yo
OMG SHE IS GREAT I LOVE HER IM HER BIGGEST FAN!!!

I find it very difficult to watch any Dawn Run documentaries without getting angry. What happened to her was disgraceful.
Agree wholeheartedly
I'm still mad after all the years
Yes. The owner was going to win 2-more Gold Cup's,then breed from her. Ended up as fertilizer,in France,instead. Pure Greed.
'And the mare's beginning to get up'
The Veteran Wayward Lad. Some Veteran.
She was a wonderful mare.Sadly there should have been so much more to come.
You're joking. After falling at it's very next fence,at Aintree. Reinforced the fact,she should have been retired in the Winners Enclosure,at Cheltenham,along with Jonjo O-Neill.
Thank you
Dawn run a great Irish mare , Seond to Height of Fashion
Anaglogs Daughter.
observe won the Cheltenham hunter 16-1 a year later just a side note
I remember Charmian Hill running to greet Dawn Run
Pity she greedily sent her to her death a few weeks later,......pure greed.
@@beverleymorris167 I agree, total greed
@@robertburke2246 👍
Bad owners sometimes have great horses and nice people who deserve a great horse never get one.
Pity she didn’t break her Neck on the Way
Class horse class jockey

"Dr Desmond Morris would have to accept that this Mare knows she has won".

Dont know what horse your looking at she was quite big for a mare
@@robertdelacy3434 it was a figure of speech I don't know how many hands she measured does it really matter
@@stephenhiggins8079 she was 16.1 hands actually, big mare.
Arkle was 16.3 so she wasn't wee!
@@beverleymorris167With an engine,and rear end to match
LIKE A NORMAL SIZE BAG A GOLD, BILLY BOY... OK. SEE WHAT I CAN DO FOR YA BRO
Yes, well done on the third best performance in the race
What wonder mare she was sadly we never got the chance to see how her off-spring could run but she die what she loved in France
She should have been put away for the season.....
But greed got the better of
them.....☹️
Jonjo O’Neill had a reputation for whipping horses really hard on their tails. Watch how many times he whipped her in the run up to the line
An if he hadnt she wouldn't of won
She was beat, the others tired on run in, she didn't quicken, they just tired.
He's was champion jockey his job was to win
And for taking the wrong course.
Hear all the Irish ? They used to invade Cheltenham
After this race run N skip lost his
Bit of excessive use of the whip there.love to smack him in the neck a few times with it.greed got this great mare killed when she broke her leg after this.
What a fabulous horse she was
Fantastic mare they didn't deserve her they didn't look after her
She actually broke her neck not her leg.
I wasn't too happy either, not allowed these days, no more than eight taps in the last couple of furlongs l believe.
