He was amazing, but his 2000 Guineas win was the one which sticks in my mind.
It was so completely unexpected that a horse could manage a performance like that in a classic race.
They were strung out over Suffolk like 4m chasers running on heavy ground, not the cream of a classic generation.
I was watching this laying on my bed.
When Akabusi went past Pettigrew I jumped into the air so high that when I landed I broke my bed :(
Just amazing to watch again, the World Champion v the bronze medalist in the 400m hurdles. And the world champion had a 3m head start with!
How the hell...
What made Donald so hostile in this sequence?
I mean obviously he's trying to get Atherton out, but I don't think I've ever seen a cricketer play with such raw hatred for an opponent. Or was he always like that?
