Might as well just have one, as it's not hugely talked about on here. Coral gold cup day today. Anyone remember this?

An absolute beast of a horse.

Yeah, a grand Cork horse was Denman. Just watching that there, how fooking long is that straight?!? I have a theory that long straights like that leave a mark on horses who get into a battle. They were hard at it there for a good 4 furlongs. Doncaster and York spring to mind for flat equivalents.

I reckon I've made more money on denman than backing any other horse.
A real warrior of a horse.

He was. Shame about the heart problems, he might have broken all records but for them.

Destroyed kauto star in the gold cup

Destroyed kauto star in the gold cup

Still the best individual display I've ever seen or am ever likely to see by any horse. Kauto star was some animal too, and Denman routed him like A premier league team toying with a championship team.

Aye, that was brilliant. He barely touched a fence the whole way round. He used to make half a length per fence with his jumping. Was like a mountain goat getting over them.

It was incredible, watched it recently on youtube,

Harry Findlay, former owner of Denman, was fuming with the ride Ruby Walsh gave him at the 2006 Royal&SunAlliance Novices Hurdle, where Denman finished second but was backed off the boards. Not one of Ruby’s finest moments.
