    If that's the ride i'm thinking of i remember thinking how horrendous a ride it was and the wondermare saved him?

    She clipped heels at the top of the hill too, was bulling had 20ew on Sirene Danay at 33 and she looked home and hosed turning in.

    Was going to post Notnowcatos Eclipse too, might have a better video of it somewhere.

    Not a fan of his but Jacobs ride on Neptune Collonges in the National, looked in trouble on the bend with plenty in front carrying lighter weights, kept him rolling, kept calm and picked off Sunyhillboy and Seabass. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ur_hgbhX5gg

    Mick Kinane on Sea The Stars in the Arc, at 50 struggling with the super colt from the off, finally got him settled after a few furlongs, in serious trouble turning in he kept calm as always, got him up the narrowest gap between horses, avoided the pacemakers coming back to him, barrelled his horse into another horse to stop her closing the door in his face and then sent him off to cut down the opposition. Fantastic last ride (iirc) from one of the best jockies of all time, deserved to retire on the high STS gave him. You can see the slo mo from entering the straight to the line at 5:00

    That wasn't his last ride he rode Alandi to win the cadran in the next race. Pretty sure the Cadran is ran earlier now on the card

    One I'd forgotten about, Mick Kinane on Sophistcat in the Coronation Stakes. He knew she'd stop once she hit the front so he pulled her in behind horses a couple of times when going well so he'd not get there too early. Dropped her head in front about 10 yards from the line, class

    Master horseman. Although could never forgive him dropping his whip on Giants Causeway in the Breeders Cup Classic.

    "He's got 6 or 7 lengths to make up,
    He'll have to be a champion to win from there,
    Stacelita races into the lead now.
    HE IS A CHAMPION I RECKON!"

    Iconic Stuff that I'll always remember!
