A great horse and a great race. Coming down the straight, he looked the least likely of the four, but suddenly turned it up and came right through them. Great run. Great horse. Thanks for putting this up.
Just watch nijinskys dewhurst win to see how good he was.That he was so highly strung makes its even more remarkable that he did so much.Still the best derby winner in my eyes and the beating he gave blakeney was just awesome.All about opinions fo course but those who saw nujinsky knew they saw one of the best ever.
Probably the greatest Derby winner, nay, racehorse ever. Never off the bridle the entire race and no other horse could live with his devastating acceleration. Such a beautifully built animal, perfectly balanced with power to spare. There will probably never be another triple crown winner because owners and trainers have no regard for the St. Leger anymore. It's too long for today's horses. Nijinsky's record will stand forever.
Lester Piggott said Nijinsky's best ever performance was in the King George at Ascot , where he toyed with the other five classic winning horses . Piggott himself said that the greatest of all Derby winners was Sea Bird .
Powerful horse.... the best I've seen over the last 40 years.... pity his son Golden Fleece didn't get the chance to show how good he could have been as his Derby performance was stunning....
Peeti - well then your horse is related to ' The Best Of The Best ' - unbeatable in the summer of 70 , until ringworm took the edge off him. His victory in the Dewhurst as a 2-y-o was unbelievable and then his win at Ascot in the King George unforgettable.
I saw it win the St Leger over 1m 6f, later in the year at my local course, Doncaster. I was 14 years old and after the race was stood next to the owner C W Englehard.
this is my horses grandfather i’m so lucky to own a horse with such a bloodline

Rest in peace, Lester Piggott, the greatest jockey of all time.
He was cantering when the pressure was on! When the brakes were released ... well, we just watched it, didn't we?
One impressed Aussie.
What a wonderful Derby and as for Nijinsky, this was the greatest of them all!!
What a horse n performance! Wonderful, awesome. The last horse who won englias Triple Crown in 1970.Hats off to Nearco n Norther Dancer family.

GOD BLESS LESTER, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT RACES, R I P 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nijinsky is now recognised by the Daily Telegraph as the best Derby winner ever!
Lester Piggott always said that Nijinski was the greatest horse he ever rode and he rode many great horses.

Nijinsky the greatest racehorse since Sea Bird, End of story!

A real Champion, i'm so sad he was beaten in the Arc.
