Just for the record, the following paragraph from Chasers & Hurdlers 2002/3 may help to put into perspective just how good Arkle really was:- ‘In the 1965/6 season, Arkle ran four times before his third Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, starting off with a twenty-length win under 12-7 in the Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown in November, setting a time record which still stands for the course and distance. Later that month, Arkle took his second successive Hennessy under 12-7, winning by fifteen lengths from Freddie who received 32 lb. Arkle made it three wins from three starts with victory by a distance in the King George VI Chase before again winning the Leopardstown Chase on his way to Cheltenham. Arkle conceded 42 lb to the second and third at Leopardstown; runner-up Height o’ Fashion, who went down by a neck, did most of her racing in Ireland but was worth a Timeform rating of 168+ whilst third-placed Splash, beaten a further fifteen lengths, had won the previous year’s Irish Grand National and earnt a Timeform rating of 157.

    Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course

    There are two left-handed courses at Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old No. 410 2005 Price £6 Course is oval in shape and about one and a half miles in extent. There are nine fences to a circuit, only one of which is jumped in the final straight. The New Course leaves the old track at Stewards S. J. A. Webb, Esq., R. J. Shepherd, Esq., M. P. Wiggin, Esq., S. E. Allday, Esq., the furthest point from the stands and runs parallel to it before rejoining at the entrance to the J. B. O. Carleton Paget, Esq., T. D. Holland-Martin, Esq., A. J. D. Dennis, Esq., Sir John Cotterell, finishing straight. This circuit is a little longer than the Old Course and has ten fences, two of R. R. Evans, Esq. which are jumped in the final straight. The most telling feature of the Old and the New Courses is their testing nature. The fences are stiff and the last half mile is uphill, with a run-in of just over a furlong. The four-mile and two-and-a-half-mile starts are on an extension, with five fences, which bisects both courses almost at right angles. The two-mile start is also on this extension, and two fences are jumped before reaching the main circuit. There is also a cross- country course at Cheltenham, laid out in the centre of the conventional tracks.
