It's called multi-tasking: entertaining the crowd. posing for photos, incidentally winning another Gold Cup, wondering why these so-called hard fences are so easy... Himself was pure class, pure and simple...

Arkle was a one off, There won't be another like him ever.
@eugenekeher978
Arkle did all his talking on the racecourse , lots of other horses mentioned never gave away three stones in handicaps and yet still win easily , who cares he never ran in the National , simply the best steeplechaser ever by a long way .

Arkle was a freak (in the best possible sense). When he died, a post mortem showed a heart way, way bigger than what would be expected from a thoroughbred. He had so much more oxygen going though his arteries than any horse should. No wonder he won. Nothing, ever, will ever get close to Arkle, the greatest racehorse ever.

I think I'll adopt Sir Peter O Sullevan's strategy when people get carried away with the here and now and doubt Arkle's vast superiority.He just allows himself a little knowing smile and says as little as possible.

@TissuePrices That is an astounding comment. Look at other Gold Cup winners approaching the line and then look back at Arkle. Look particularly at their actions near the line. I'd say you could probably look at all of them and no other horse's action remains as extended as Arkle's up that stamina examining hill. Mention whoever you like and you will still see a more scraping action and never such an effortlessly turf-eating stride.

I feel bad for Mill House, in any other time he probably would have won 3 or 4 Gold Cups.

@kealano123 Arkle's poor jumping? Please explain. Arkle was a magnificient jumper and seldom made mistakes. He never fell in any of the 26 chases he contested.

Always sad when the unsung hero is always ignored in this kind debates.Flyingbolt was special in his own way.
@patrickcleary9358
The weight arkle gave away no modern day horse could do that .And there are people who think dessie and kauto would have given him a race .

@MrAddyginsh Do you doubt that Arkle could have won a Champion Chase? If Dawn Run could beat a recent 2Mile Champion at Punchestown in April 1986 , and if Desert Orchid a couple of years later could humble the contemporary 2milers at Ascot, I would see a similar task as no great challenge to Arkle. Flyingbolt was extraordinary but I harbour a sneaking suspicion that, places swapped, Arkle would have won that Champion Hurdle, probably Dawn Run fashion, except perhaps by further.

Let me throw in two unlucky horses whose careers was ruined by injury and untimely death. Two of Fred Winter`s cracking chasers Pendil & Killiney. Pendil lets not forget really was a brilliant chaser who was unlucky not to win at least a couple Gold Cups. And he was actually Favourite for the `77 Gold Cup having made a fantastic come-back from lengthy injury at the age of 12 before he got injured again. Killiney, well it`s anyones guess how good he could have been. He looked a superstar.
