The closing 1,000 metres (sorry,I don't have the opening lap) of one of the greatest 1500 metres races ever - both Cram and Aouita knocking a second off of Ovett's 2 year old world record. Of 1985 Cram recently commented he could of "beaten Shergar" that season,but in this race he only won by a whisker!
great race cramie

These old grand prix meets just blow away the gold medal meets of today.

Cheers for this; I haven't seen this race for years!
A brilliant race, Cram was virtually untouchable in 1985 but Aouita ran him so close. The gap was huge with 200metres to go and he almost caught him!

Fantastic run to the line, from One of Brand Gitannia's nicest ever 1500metre athletes, especially when compared to Bored Crow.

Finally - I've been looking for this race! One of the greatest races I've ever seen an a genuine WR because it eventually was the result of the highest level of competition. I'd forgotten how early Cruz folded - to borrow horse racing parlance he just didn't get the trip. Aouita looks sure to nail Cram on the line, he just can't carry on through right at the end.
