Dr Devious was one of very few horses to run in both the Kentucky Derby and Epsom Derby. There were rumours for a few years that Silver Wisp would run over hurdles. When he eventually did he did so badly it was his only effort. A bit like a good flat horse Arctic Owl some years later who had only one run.
@Commander In Chief I was working on building site, sandblasting brickwork, stopped and went to the betting shop and had £200 on Istabraq at 11/10 at Ayr, yes we didn't know what was in store for him over hurdles, but I backed him at 4/1 in 1998 champion hurdle £200 🙂
Another tremendous upload. Didn't realise St Jovite had such a terrible race, didn't enjoy a single yard. Bolger did always maintain he was better right-handed.
Dr Devious was the victor here but St Jovite reversed the form at the Curragh's Irish equivalent. That year's Guineas winner Rodrigo De Triano in the contest. Peter Chapple-Hyam would train his second Derby winner fifteen years later with Authorized.
After near misses with El Gran Senor, Glacial Storm and Blue Stag how ironic that a horse Robert Sangster owned as a two year old but sold should win the Derby.
I couldn't believe the odds on Rodrigo de triano in the international stakes 8/1 i thought it was buying money he was staying on past horses here but clearly hated the track . He was an exceptional horse on fast ground on a conventional track and im pretty sure he like brigadier gerrard was one the few middle park winners that won group ones over 10f . Can't remember one that's even stayed a mile since .
given he won the Guineas with a strong late surge and went on to win the Champion stakes over 10f it's strange that Rodrigo was beaten so far out in this.
Its Epsom lol. Some horses just do not handle the canvas and the undulations. Newmarket and esp Ascot are two completely different tracks and the guineas is a completely different type of race altogether as its run over a straight mile lol. Epsom is laughed at by most American racing fans as well.
@@gazowen7310 I agree, as wasn't Nashwans but Nashwan and Shergar went on to prove themselves very good horses and they made those behind them look not that good at Epsom.
@@gazowen7310 The problem was that Benny The Dip didn't really build on it, horse like Nashwan and Shergar won the Derby in the style of a good horse and went on to build on that impression, by taking on the older horses afterwards.

I backed Arctic Owl 8/13f on his hurdles debut, was having a good day in the bookies so I put £390 on to win £240, shocking run....
Had the forecast in this race. Thank you. 😊

Great video richard

he'd already won it twice before those near misses though.
@@csb7376 That's correct, The Minst and Golden Fleece.

@@therebel4332The canvas? lol.
@@csb7376Some 10 furlong horses don't get a yard beyond that distance, he was also beaten a long way in the Irish Derby.
@@nightowl7459 I know what you're saying, but my point was he wasn't cruising in 2nd 2f out and then emptied. Beaten well before.
@@nightowl7459 you're wrong rodrigo de triono never ran in the irish derby
One of the weakest derby fields of all time
Really? St Jovite was a very good horse and Dr Devious went to win the Irish Champion, look a Camelots Derby if you want to see a bad one.
@@nightowl7459 and sir Percy's also shergars derby wasn't a great field
@@gazowen7310 I agree, as wasn't Nashwans but Nashwan and Shergar went on to prove themselves very good horses and they made those behind them look not that good at Epsom.
@@nightowl7459 that's very true Benny the dips derby wasn't very good either
