  • Possibly the greatest finish to a modern era gold cup. Only today on a local shoot were we discussing this race and memories from people present at the race prompted me to review my memories. they were correct in their opinions that B. Brogan took up the running too soon and his horse idled in front and got caught on the line. Present at the discussion and unknown to the debaters was the owner of The Dikler. God bless you Peggy. Your horse showed em the next year.

  • Question on O'Sullevan's pronunciation. Shouldn't it be glen-CARR-ig rather than GLENKA-rayg?

  • Some proper GOLD CUP horses in that era, both The Dikler & L'Escargot aquitted themselves really well in three Gold Cups & could have won three had things just fallen differently for them. I think the quicker ground did for L'Escargot here in his bid for a hat-trick?

  • Barry Brogan's premature bid for glory robbed The Dikler of certain victory in this race. He left them for dead coming down the hill and had shot his bolt jumping the last. If only Brogan had held him up, The Dikler would have won easily.
