FAMOUS HORSES
Captain Christy 1967Captain Christy at his best was a truly outstanding steeplechaser. His most brilliant performance was his thirty-length defeat of Bula in the 1975 King George VI Chase. But he was erratic and inconsistent. As a seven-year-old relative novice he won the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the following season won the King George VI Chase by eight lengths from Pendil. But back at Cheltenham he ran a lifeless race in soft ground in the Gold Cup and two months later he was beset by tendon trouble from which he never properly recovered.
