Epic steeplechase win
 
I'm not usually a big fan of steeplechase racing, but this is a pretty amazing performance. Definitely worth watching.

That was great, glad he got the bob. reminded me of Precious Passion.

Wow... I was so afraid he was going to lose. What a gutsy little thing. :)

I really like Steeplechase. I wish we had more of it here in America.

Obviously no whipping rules in jumps. Thought it was in vein. That proves the usefulness.

That was really fun; thanks for posting!

In the British version of Life on Mars, there's a funny minor storyline in one episode involving the 1973 Grand National and Red Rum.

Wow that was intense. I was upset thinking he was about to lose, then no! A gutsy comeback if ever there was one. I wish he hadn't gone so wide before that last fence.

Love the UK Life on Mars. I cringe just thinking about the US version. Did you ever see Ashes to Ashes?

We have a DVD of it a friend has given us, but haven't watched it yet- thank you for mentioning it; I'll add it to our list for after we finish Freaks and Geeks.

Totally agree about the US version of Life on Mars. And I wanted so much for it to be good. :(
