Granville Robinson Brigadier Gerard my favourite racehorse of all time what a thrill for me to watch the great Brigadier Gerard winning the 1972 King George stakes
Some feat for the Brigadier who was unproven over 12f beating a horse in Parnell who had two months earlier been runner-up in the French equivalent of the Ascot Gold Cup.
Was the best I have ever seen and Joe Mercer a true gentleman
I am named Gerard after this horse, but this win came after I was born.
This famous championship race has had outstanding winners like this one, Brigadier Gerard.

Brilliant racehorse. The noise from the crowd almost drowns out the commentators voice.
Best ever, didn't really stay 12f, still won.
Just about got the trip, this was probably why he was beaten for the first time ever in the Benson and Hedges at York less than three weeks later.
