if anyone has footage or a video showing dancing brave winning the 1986 arc de triomphe,please sell it to me,this is one of the greatest races ever run and ive been after it for years,if you can help please let me know,thanks

Yep good race by all accounts, but then again any nag that wins the 'ARC', has to be at the top of their trade.


Best of luck in your search.

this wasnt just any old nag tho,there were 7 group 1 winners in the race that day,the best europe and england had to offer and the brave took them all apart.eddery still regards dancing brave to this day the best horse hes ever ridden.

bumping back up

Think it's available on the Racing Post website, or At The Races. Not checked the archives for ages. It may even be on the BBC website if you delve enough.

Dancing Brave was my first big punt (£100+tax), and anyone who knows how old I am will understand JUST how much pocket money that was ...... and it lost in the Derby ......

We got it back from the bets in Paris though ....... devastating turn of foot and a majestic ride from Pat Eddery at Longchamp ....... a truly great horse, sadly no longer with us ......
