Minded Master heads Champion Chase entries
Thursday, January 08, 2009
Despite being too young to have seen him run, I've got no doubt that Arkle is the best horse ever to have won the Cheltenham Gold Cup. he was so much better than other horses of his era that when he ran in handicaps, two sets of weights were framed, one for if he ran and another for if he missed the race. That had never happened before and will almost certainly never happen again.
