Remittance Man-The 1991 Arkle Chase (Cheltenham) [01:02]
Remittance Man was truly an unsung hero of National Hunt racing. Once he went chasing he was riveting to watch and at his best over 2m - 2m 4f he was virtually unbeatable. Here he is winning the 1991 Arkle Chase at Cheltenham.

The Gravesend, Brooklyn Handicap 1904 [07:21]
The Brooklyn Handicap in Gravesend, Coney Island, Brooklyn, May 26, 1904 American Biograph & Mutoscope Co. Camera: GW "Billy" Bitzer Coney Island's Gravesend Race Track opened in 1887 and remained in operation until 1910. The first 'Handicap' was a 1 1/4 miles left-handed race on dirt and became part of the 'Handicap Triple' which today is preceded by the Metropolitan Handicap and followed by the Suburban Handicap. The Brooklyn Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually in early June at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, on Long Island. It currently is a Grade II event open to three-year-olds and up willing to race one and one-half miles on dirt. The first segment of this film begins with the horses and their entourages entering the track and getting organized. The handicap seen here begins at 4:00 viewed in five edits, each view is from a stationary camera with virtually no panning. The racing segment itself lasts two minutes with the last minute of film focused on The Picket in what I presume is the winners circle. The Picket was ridden by Jockey Oscar Helgesen who took the prize in 2:06.60. The Picket was trained by Carroll B. Reid and owned by Waldeck Stable. Four horses have won the Handicap Triple: Whisk Broom II (1913), Tom Fool (1953), Kelso (1961), Fit to Fight (1984). 01/05/12 - 3

JW Blue workout - 8/21/2011 [00:57]
Travers candidate JW Blue worked four furlongs in company Saturday morning on the main track as a final serious prep for the "Mid-Summer Derby" on Saturday at the Spa. Under exercise rider Ricky Legall, JW Blue ran on the inside of workmate Tech Fall, and the two went around virtually on even terms with JW Blue slightly ahead the entire time. They were close behind another horse working in front of them, and JW Blue reached that horse during his strong gallop-out. Trainer Tony Dutrow said the Sky Mesa colt, second last out in the Barbaro Stakes on July 9, was working 4 ½ furlongs, although the NYRA clockers timed the effort as five furlongs in 1:00.20, eighth best of 40 at the distance. Tech Fall, fourth last out in the Grade 2 Dwyer at Belmont Park, received the same clocking.

Even If You Cannot Hear My Voice:// RIP Rewilding [01:00]
Whipped this up in a couple of minutes, I didn't have a lot of footage but this isn't meant to be that kind of video, it's just a tribute to one of my favourite flat horses, Rewilding, who was sadly put down today after suffering a broken leg in the King George, won by Nathaniel (whose jockey, William Buick I have to say was very quick to send his condolences to connections of Rewilding after the race, in true sporting style). Luckily, Frankie Dettori walked away virtually unharmed, it was a horrible fall and things could have been so much worse for him :( He was a brilliant horse, third in the derby and a dual group 1 winner, who conquered the mighty So You Think at Royal Ascot in June. Thoughts go out all the connections of this wonderful horse, who had so much more to give. Tragedies like this are rare in flat racing and it's marred the win of the really progressive Nathaniel, who was a worthy winner of the race. I know there are more tragic things going in the world at the moment away from horse racing, but this is just my tribute to a great horse. It's just a very sad thing to have happened. RIP Beautiful! (Also I was going to include footage of the moment he broke down, but I couldn't do it, it's a horrible sight that I don't think anybody wants to see again)
