The Greatest Handicap Stars in Flat Racing: Icons of the 1980s & 1990s

This video celebrates the iron horses and crowd favourites who dominated the country’s toughest big-field sprints and staying handicaps, leaving their mark at iconic tracks. Meet the Handicap Legends of the '80s & '90s Further Flight (Barry Hills): The ultimate stayer, winner of the 1990 Ebor Handicap at York and an unprecedented five consecutive Jockey Club Cups at Newmarket (1991–1995). Coastal Bluff (David Barron): Famous for his dead-heat win in the 1996 Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood and his Portland Handicap triumph the same year, a true sprinting cult hero. Hard to Figure (Ron Hodges): Winner of the 1993 Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon, a tough and reliable sprinter who made his mark in the north’s biggest handicaps. Selhurstpark Flyer (Jack Berry): The only horse in over 60 years to win the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot twice (1997 & 1998), also a Derby Day sprint winner at Epsom. Bertie Wooster (Clive Brittain): Instantly recognisable with his big white blaze, winner of the 1988 Bunbury Cup at Newmarket, and loved for his late charges in major handicaps. Chaplins Club (David Chapman): The iron horse of sprint handicaps, with a record 24 career wins including the 1985 Epsom Dash, and famed for winning nine races in a season-twice! Soba (David Chapman): The rags-to-riches sprinter who captured the 1982 Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood and became a northern cult favourite. Cumbrian Waltzer (David Chapman): A northern sprint regular, known for consistent performances and multiple wins at tracks like Beverley and Ayr in the late 80s and early 90s. Glencroft (David Chapman): Another Chapman-trained stalwart, a regular winner and placer in northern sprint handicaps during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Band on the Run (B. McMahon): A tough and consistent handicapper, winning at Doncaster, Haydock, and Newmarket in the late 1990s, always giving his best in mile and seven-furlong handicaps.

Their stories are woven into the fabric of British racing history, from the roaring crowds of the 1980s to the fiercely competitive fields of the 1990s.
