Analysis 1970-1979
4th April 1970 (Good)
First fence : PERRY HILL (fell), QUEENS GUIDE (brought down - remounted)
Third fence : Unfortuately perhaps surprised at the favourites demise the BBC camera zoomed in on TWO SPRINGS (fell) and you cannot see what happened to anyone else as by the time the camera zoomed out again all you could see were a lot of jockeys on the floor - Movietone footage shows a little bit more & you can see ON THE MOVE (fell), GAME PURSTON (unseated rider), RONDETTO (unseated rider) & PERMIT (hampered & unseated rider). RACOON (fell), THE BEECHES (fell) & BATTLEDORE (fell) cannot be seen coming to grief.

Seventeenth fence : JUST A GAMBLE (fell)
For the next few fences the BBC & Movietone footage concentrates on the leaders and the poor weather rendered the traditional head on at Bechers almost meaningless so apart from Fair Vulgan you have to go by the form book for these.

In 1976 the BBC changed the camera angle at The Canal Turn. Whilst the side view gave viewers an incredible sight on the dramatic turn it made it a lot harder to work out the order at the fence. I am lazy and therefore very grateful for the new head-on shot of the seventh fence - a lot easier.
