old vic also sired the 1-2 in this years grand national ! awesome horse and sire

[museobsessed17]

Old Vic would be proud of his flag-bearing son, 12 year old Our Vic. who is still putting in classy performances over jumps under big weights, more recently at Haydock last saturday, carrying 11 stone 12 lbs on heavy ground into 2nd. Great performance.

@museobsessed17

youre right. what a grand horse he's been our vic.

[celticfan82]

Is Old Vic related 2 a grey called Money Trix????

[7blackbird]

@celticfan82 Old Vic is the father of Money Trix

Old Vic would have beat Nashwan easily he was a far better horse.

[MEECHIO]

@maximus8992 On all form and ratings they were very closely matched Maximus, so to say Old Vic was a far better horse is pretty wide of the mark I think. They had different strengths, Old Vic was more of a stayer who could maintain a searching gallop, his Derby victories were most impressive. Nashwan on the other hand had more speed, check out his Guineas and Eclipse victories on here. Both top class horses, a real pity they never got to lock horns on the racecourse.

Old Vic was outstanding over 1m4f. As a 4 year I recall that he almost beat Belmez in the King George at Ascot. One the best races of all time. Steve Cauthen gave it everything he had but just missed out to Kinane. Quest for Fame (Derby Winner)and In the Wings (subseqent Breeders Cup Winner) were 3rd and 4th I think.

[NeilAFC04]

yeah old vic all the way for me - would ave been some race tho..

[kopkingstevie]

old vic for me

[emilou2812]

Wow i never seen him before.. i have one of his geldings Vic's Charm.. and he doesn't race but he is brill at flat and he is awsome at cross country.. but showjumping he needs to stop messing about.. he can do it. Wow old vic is awsome!

[kopkingstevie]

great sire aswell i have a mare by him who will be running next month

[RobinCarmody]

Still a shame that he never raced against Nashwan.

[sheedysvsign]

if he did ,what do you think the outcome would have been robin? personally think it would have been tight ,but nashwan just shades it for me!.

[jmdm1957]

old vic for me an amazing consistent galloper

[sheedysvsign]

we'll never know mate,lets agree to disagree eh !.

[jmdm1957]

fair point mate.

[21shergar]

Nashwan for me too, sheedy.

[sheedysvsign]

Lovely horse :-)

[december2364]

I think we all knew at the time that an Old Vic - Nashwan match-up was never going to happen. A shame, but I think Nashwan would have shaded it on the day.

[Pactrolus]

You are probably right. Steve Cauthen was of the same opinion.
