@ThefightingCelt That clinches it. You ARE MrPapaBill. Try a slightly less obvious disguise next time, eh ?

@ThefightingCelt Let me get this straight, you have friends that give you a thumbs up and they never leave comments on any race. You seem to be digging yourself into a black hole. Everyone on here here knows it's you with different accounts. I didn't realise that friends came in the shape of laptops. I eagerly wait for your next pile of banta. 9 seconds lol

When I saw Dancing Brave race in 1986. I felt like he was the best European turf horse I had seen since Shergar back in 1981. He just looked so dominate in his 12f win's in the King George and the Arc that year, that I felt like there was no way this horse would lose at Santa Anita in the BC Turf. It's still to this day, IMO, one of the most surprising Breeders Cup results ever that Dancing Brave was not only beaten in the 86' BC Turf. But finished out of the money, also. Still can't believe it.

He is an eternal superstar.

Even if a however strong horse comes out, I will think more than it.

CTHE ? stars foolish .

he is Frankel if it is right.

What a race,I was there and got 6/4 Dancing Brave.He should Have Won The Derby but was "ridden wrong".Then when P.Eddery was on it I lumped on, The 2000 Guineas,(8/1 inside info) Then The Arc,I took "Pari Mutual ! The Best Flat Horse Of my Generation.(Im probarbly am talking through my pocket).

[mrgrady12]

in my opinion dancing brave was the greatest middle distance horse of all time,the most blistering turn of foot,i loved this race,but his finest performance was to come in paris where he destroyed the best arc field ever assembled.

Dancing brave was a machine. Interviewed after the Derby Starkey said, that Dancing brave had fallen asleep and he couldn't get him wakened in time. Dancing brave was later interviewed and said that he couldn't get Starkey wakened in time!

@jforden21 What a numpty ! This is the nonsense we true racing fans have to put up with. For a start, Prince Khalid Abdullah ( who owned Dancing Brave ) is not the brother of the Aga Khan ( who owned Sharastani ). They are not related. Dancing Brave lost because of two things. 1) Starkey was instructed to hold him up for as long as possible and 2) Epsom did not suit him. Simple.
