Douvan retired how lucky have we been to have watched the georgous fella. He was very gd. WILLIE has said he thinks he was probably the best horse he had. He definitely was brilliant .
crazy the amount of goosebumps you get throughout that video.....I always remember Willie saying this is the only thing that can get Vautour of the bridle at home.....
Spine tingling watching this !. No disrespect to any of current and past 2mile kings. Douvan would have achieved much more if he didn't have such bad injuries
@Bog Standard probably it's always hard to tell , but my point as I stated, he would have had more wins , but he was very unlucky with injuries thats all I was saying
Extraordinary horse.. but Faugheen will always be the best for me.. followed by Annie Power.. then Douvan.. But over fences, he could be anything.. and just imagine if they go the 3 mile route with him.. He's already as low as 8/1, which is testament to his limitless potential.. Vautour - Don Cossack - Cue Card - Coneygree - Thistlecrack - Douvan If they all turned up, it would go down as the greatest race of all time! :)
the best horse in training wouldn't have been rerouted to fences. He's not even the best chaser, he's only beat one two horses in his novice season and only now we'll see what he's made of. Hype Hype and only hype this horse.
douvan is by far the best 2mile horse in training anybody who thinks otherwise needs to not follow horse racing. he will be a cert for the gold cup next year
champ chase - douvan , mares hurdle - apple jade , long walk - faugheen , champ hurdle - annie power that 4 fold will pay for ur fuckin summer holidays
Such a shame we wont see him this season. Perhaps he is a horse just destined not to live up to his FULL potential. Regardless, it is impossible to argue that he isn't a superstar.
Big shame, he’s just a big fragile animal unfortunately. But my word, on his day he would breeze to wins like it was nothing. Before he got injured Rich was saying he was looking and performing as good as ever at home. We could see him yet this season!
Douvan, Sprinter Sacré, Kauto Star, Long Run, Quevega, Vautour, Un de Sceaux, Neptunes Collonges, Sire de Grugy, etc etc............. = french imports.
No doubt Douvan was one of the best 2 miler we all ever seem sorry for the bad injury end the story. Nothing personal Douvan is another good evidence to question about is Ruby is the best national hunt jockey cos any top jockey can win big races on Douvan not because Ruby gave him some good ride. I am no doubt about Ruby is one of the best NH jockey but not best of the best. He was lucky he connected with 2 top stables also by that time these stables got most of the best crop of horses so I believe any good, top jockey can win similar kinds of races as he did. Also remember he was the worst jockey for fell at the last. To me the best jockey should be wining races day in day out no matter is big or selling races. Also sometimes can wining races from a impossible or difficult position. Just cos his big races wining making everyone forgot this kinds of fact. So he is one of the best but not best of the best.
Will always think Altior benefitted from the injuries which sidelined Douvan,Much the same as bouvre dare benefitted from the injuries which kept Faugheen out of action.But isn,t this the nature of the Sport,as the great Arkle and Flyingbolt Would both have achieved even more but for injury and Ill health respectively.
@@markperryman1797 I don't think he was making the point they were related but they are related distantly, Douvan is out of Walk in the park, who in turn was sired by Montjeu who was himself sired by Sadlers Wells, Sadlers Wells is Frankels grandsire by way of Galileo
@@dannyeldergolf It's a real pity they didn't meet before Douvan suffered that terrible injury at Cheltenham 2017. I've always felt Douvan at his best was a better horse than Altior, Douvan had reeled off 13 straight, beating Sizing John by 18 lengths along the way, prior to his injury. We'll never know, Douvan is a shadow of his former self.
radley2612 sort your head out you clowns ,was clearly something wrong with it. Day after that race it was diagnosed with a fractured pelvis. Would still be unbeaten otherwise
The only fella that ever made me question my love for Faugheen. What a monster
What could have been in the Champion Chase ... Was traveling like a dream

quidnunc douvan is better than faugheen
Eurovision 2015 mad i know that mate but thats obviousoy what willie said before he died.
Douvan was injured put a line through that last performance. Altior looked abit dodgy Min would have taken him.
Wayne Howes defo NOT clever
radley2612 was that an attempt at a joke?
Douvan is one of the best chasers that I have seen

He shud get a gold cup trip because he is definetly bred to get a trip! Hes a machine hope to god fingers crossed touch wood he stays sound!!
nice video ..proper horse
it would go down as the greatest race m8 ..but if thistlecrack takes 2 fences ..which is a big IF..but if he does he wins everything he enters
best horse in training over jumps lump on in march

u can only beat whats in front of u in any sport this horse wins wins wins easy as taking a shit
champ chase - douvan , mares hurdle - apple jade , long walk - faugheen , champ hurdle - annie power that 4 fold will pay for ur fuckin summer holidays
Tormented Sizing John on countless occasions and he won an irish gold cup so no not hype at all, best in the business. Act like you know fool.

Well just watched that 6 times.......
Douvan= best hurlde racer
Frankle= best flat racer
Frankle? Is he related to Frankel?

I think it beats Altior if it doesn't fall or get injured and coming home in 7th, a clean race like its done many a times he beats Altior
He lost to un de sceaux at punchestown as well, and if you think either of them beats altior you need a serious talking to 😂

Put the kettle on better 🤪
Imagine if it never got that injury 😞
