Dessie was a 16/1 shot that day, a novice winning the King George. The start of a great horse's career. RIP Dessie,

on his day best jump horse ever

@MrRickB123 I don't necessarily agree with that. Mill House was good but Arkle improved past him & by some way too. Dessie would have took care of Mill House, especially around this track!!
-
Desert Orchid, bless him, would not have seen which Mill House went, let alone Arkle. Mill House, don't forget, was the only horse who gave Arkle weight and a beating !

Remember this so well, hard to believe it is almost 24 years ago!

very good

@grincher2006 Correct. Every horse has his day although I tend to agree with the majority. I feel Kauto would have tried to match Dessie & come unstuck. Dessie beat better horses, without question. Kauto has been mightily impressive but none the less has had things very much his own way. Worth remembering Dessies 8 length, 12st 2lb win in the Racing Post Chase against horses that would have veru much compared with Kauto Stars King George opponents.

A nostalgic moment, wonderful memories of such a popular and talented horse. Comparisons are unfair - he was te best of his time and will be remembered by so many people. I confess I cried buckets watching this!
