"Holland was only riding Russian Bullet after her intended mount Beat The Bell, also trained by Osborne, was withdrawn this morning but the three-year-old responded to all his rider's efforts in the final furlong to repel Photo Finish by a neck. Channel 4 presenter Emma Spencer and Bellevue Beauty were half a length further back in third. Holland said: "It went so quickly, it was literally like sitting on a bullet. I have ridden since I was a child - I have been hunting, pony club and all that sort of stuff - but I ride side-saddle normally. This time I got my leg over! "I was hoping no one would notice what happened after the finish line. He carried on going and there was a bar at the end - as another jockey fell, so did I. Edie (Campbell) waited for me and a punter gave me a leg up, so I got back on." CH4 EMMA SPENCER sportingly changes her glam gear to racing silks and takes her chance in the Magnolia Cup aboard BELLEVUE BEAUTY to achieve a fast finishing 3rd. M's bloodhorse literate achiever in her own right, our own Channel4 horseracing presenter broadcaster xx CH4 EMMA SPENCER (M's) partner BELLEVUE BEAUTY challenges for yesterday's MAGNOLIA CUP. (Charity Race) (1.35. 02. 08. 12) It could be said that M's rode a GREVILLE STARKEY - DANCING BRAVE - sort of race in a roundabout sort of way, to finish 3rd instead of first in this race partnering BELLEVUE BEAUTY. DANCING BRAVE BRITISH DERBY 1986 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ya2HPJpyI  DANCING BRAVE  HISTORIC REFERENCE 1983 - 1999 "Dancing Brave arrived at Guy Harwood's yard in Pulborough, Sussex, as a puny late-foaled bay colt, with better breeding (the legendary Northern Dancer was his grandsire) than looks. They describe Dancing Brave as the best horse who never won the Derby Placid and even-tempered, he didn't make much of an impression - that is, until he hit the racecourse. The first time he ran in a three-runner race at Sandown," remembers Harwood, "Greville Starkey (the stable jockey) got off and said, "This horse is my Derby ride." Starkey little knew how that statement was to colour his career. Lightly raced as a two-year-old, Dancing Brave had not attracted much attention before he stalked out onto the course at Newmarket for the Group 3 Craven Stakes. His demolition job in that race was just a foretaste of what was to come in the 2000 Guineas shortly afterwards: again, he won decisively. That made him 2-1 favourite for the 1986 Derby - and there followed one of the most controversial runnings of the Classic for years. Greville Starkey was dogged for years after by accusations that he had held Dancing Brave up too long and given him too much to do at the end. The horse still flew up the straight, but it was still not enough. He lost by half a length to Shahrastani. Starkey was to partner The Brave to victory in one more classic, beating top French filly Triptych at the Coral Eclipse Stakes at Sandown. His star ride was then handed over, to Pat Eddery. Partnership made in heaven It was a partnership made in heaven, and Eddery still remembers Dancing Brave as a "once in a lifetime" ride. If it could be thought possible, Dancing Brave moved up a gear. He swept to victory in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot, despite a tactical error from Eddery who brought him to the front too soon. And then he travelled to Longchamp, Paris, for the big one: the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The field was one of the strongest for 20 years, including other outstanding horses like Bering, Triptych and Shardari. Dancing Brave's rival in the Derby, Shahrastani, was also challenging again. Pat Eddery rode a controversial race, holding the Brave up until a furlong and a half out because he didn't want to repeat his King George error. But that produced one of the most breathtaking finishes ever seen. In the last furlong, Dancing Brave passed almost a dozen horses. The great Bering was left standing: and the Brave won by over a length and a half. That performance earned him the accolade of Europe's Horse of the Year 1986, and a highest-ever rating of 141 in the International Classifications - the official annual league table of top class flat horses. It's a rating that remains to be beaten, and is higher than outstanding horses like Shergar and Alleged. He has become the standard against which every potential world-class flat racer is measured. The glory was only marred by one race - his last. The Breeder's Cup in Santa Anita, California, was held in scorching heat. Dancing Brave lost weight, and Guy Harwood tells how he dehydrated badly before the race. He could manage only a 4th place. He retired to stud in Newmarket, valued at £14 million. His early results were disappointing - blamed on his battle with the rare Marie's Disease which nearly brought him down in the winter of 1987. In 1991 he was sold to Japan: at about the same time his 1990 offspring began to emerge as the stars to follow in their father's hoofprints. Descendants of Dancing Brave now include at least 31 stakes winners. The Derby winner Commander in Chief is his son, as is White Muzzle, winner of the Italian Derby, and Wemyss Bight, winner of the Irish Oaks. With dozens more Brave foals waiting for their turn in the limelight, the spirit of this great Classic horse lives on. Stud career DANSING BRAVE  was syndicated with an estimated value of £14m. He retired to stand as a stallion at the Dalham Hall Stud at Newmarket with an initial stud fee of £120,000. In November 1987 he was found to be suffering from Marie's disease[19] and had fertility problems in 1988.[20] His modest early success led to his being exported to Japan, to stand at the Shizunai Stallion Station at Hokkaidō in 1991. He died on August 2, 1999 of a heart attack.[21] He sired numerous winners, having a particularly good crop of three-year-olds in 1993, foaled in the year before his export, including Commander in Chief, who won the Epsom Derby, and White Muzzle, second in both the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Other good winners included Wemyss Bight (Irish Oaks) and Cherokee Rose (Sprint Cup). The best of his Japanese offspring was the filly T M Ocean who won the Oka Sho and the Shuka Sho in 2001.[22] " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1uu2tRDENQ	Card	Betting
