Desert Orchid

What a horse! Desert Orchid. XXXX

[dnjljjess]

he was good .but red rum was better

[ButlersBelle]

Round Aintree perhaps, but Desert Orchid was vastly superior otherwise. Red Rum, for instance, wouldn't have won a Gold Cup nor 4 King Georges.

not sure how you can compare them, tbh. Two very different kinds of horses. Both all time greats. why does one have to be "better" than the other?

@dnjljjess dessie would have had far, far too much class & speed for darling Rummy...would have given him stones & a beating around Kempton & any other track, especially right handed.

However, at Aintree Rummy was king.

Did you know Dessie was nearly put down in his first ever race as a 5 year old at Kempton in a novice hurdle..he fell at the last and was down for 15 minutes...they were about to put him down and he jumped up...incredible dont you reckon...the rest is history!!!!
