'The camerawork seen by 4.8 million people was my wife filming me on my iPhone'

Do you remember the race that had Britain transfixed, watched by more than twice as many as any other in 2020?

The race commentated on by a man talking into his mobile phone and presented by another who was filmed on his? That raised millions for good causes? That brought great joy to one corner of South Wales and led to a jubilant winning trainer appearing on News At Ten – even though not a single horse had left his yard?

Last Sunday marked the first anniversary of the day the nation went wild for a computer-generated imagery (CGI) sporting event – the strangest race in a strange year for the sport and for the world.
