I was born in 1963.When I was nine years of age I used to walk home from school with a chap called Liam who loved racing.He was a Pendil fan and I knew Captain Christy was better.Then I mentioned Arkle and he declared that Pendil was better than Himself too.Even at that age I knew that I couldn't really take this chap seriously any more. More years pass and it's Best Mate, now it's Kauto Star. At this stage it's a bit like the second coming. I'm one racing fan who knows how long the wait may be.

@alipitogen your basing thisall on the notion that arkle beat great horeses, he didnt, he only facked 10 donkeys to his 3 gold cups, arkle the best of his time ahead of his time, but racing has moved on, kauto is the best, and hes not a specalist, ie he can do it over any distance, conditions, thats what makes him no1

@TissuePrices I know Kauto Star is a brilliant horse and I'm a fan.I would not like to see this happen but if they stuck 12 stone 7 pounds on Kauto's back and sent him around Fairyhouse in the Irish Grand National(see Arkle on yt in it) I know what would happen. Top chasers are now wrapped in cotton wool. Arkle was the greatest and the fact Mill House got so near to him at levels means that Kauto, Best Mate, even Captain Christy would have been out with the washing against both.

@alipitogen milhouse was a poor mans arkle in a very weak era, niether could live with kauto not even on their best day

Has the BBC ever covered the Whitbread Gold Cup or any Sandown Park meetings?

Hands and heels - no whip. Simply magnificent.

Look what happens at 2.32 in this video and then visit the YT video of Red Rum in the 1977 Grand National. There, at 4.54, you will see the exact same thing, a jockey on a horse that's trying to catch a legend looks over his shoulder and wonders can he stay second !

I was at Sandown on this day, standing down at The Pond Fence with my father. Seeing Arkle from such close range left a lasting impression. There really will never be another.
