Baron Blakeney did take to fences quite well a couple of seasons later. If I remember rightly, I think he won a novice chase at the 1984 Aintree Grand National meeting.

Thanks for posting this. I was coming home with 36 quid a week back in the day and put a quid E/W on him (sole reason that my sir name is Blake). Made my day I can tell you.

@Leighschlager Wow, he was one of my mum's favourites. He must be a huge age.
-
Interestingly both the winner and the runner up went on to become stallions. That doesn't happen too often with jumps horses nowadays.

David Nicholson wrote in his autobiography that he felt the loose horse had cost Broadsword the race. He felt the horse became disheartened upon seeing another horse galloping away from him and that this had caused him to slow up in final 50 - 100 yards.

@john131349 Corporal Clinger is still alive, and lives at Andy Crooks yard, where he spends his time with Ryalux. nice to see that these great horses have been looked after into their old age.

wow! I was so nuts about racing at the time, that I got my mother to record the BBC coverage on C-90 cassette tape! So I never saw it (apart from the late night highlights) but have every second to listen to. When I got a video 2 years later I think I wore it out recording nothing but racing... sadly everything I recorded went the way of all videotape.
And of course, this was yet another David Nicholson failed attempt to win at the Festival. He really did seem jinxed.

Baron Blakeney significant as an early major success for Martin Pipe!

@RobinCarmody Indeed he was and unlike many a Pipe he showed a turn of foot from off the pace.
