We also run a 'virtual' Cheltenham Gold Cup, pitting Richard's best horses against each other, while there is talk, too, of the brilliant but ill-fated Killiney.

Sporting Lives (Episode 11, Part 1) Richard Pitman in conversation with Jonathan Doidge

As a National Hunt jockey Richard Pitman rode more than 470 winners, largely in association with the great stable of Fred Winter. His partnerships with brilliant horses such as Pendil, Crisp, Lanzarote and Bula brought both success and agonising near misses, before he hung up his boots and enjoyed a much longer career behind the microphone as one of the most recognisable voices in racing with the BBC.

Sit back and enjoy some great tales from his days both in and out of the saddle.
