I've got the answer to 44, but don't know why.
It is a gruesome gag (as in muzzle), but I can't make the answer fit the clue. However I am 100% sure it is correct (i think it ws a tv series?).

Thanks to everyone re 85. At last!

I'm not sure that I'm very good with clues but here goes -
5 "Sadly" means make an anagram of the words indicated. Think about the "long gone".
44 The two words begin with S and B. The whole gruesome article was not used on horses but the second word on its own has a very specific horse connection. Substitute "B" for "Second class" and use Chambers - I doubt that you will have met the word you construct.

Thank you for 99 - got it. Did it feature with Old Lob in the Beacon Readers? That dates me.

Thanks badger4, 5 I've got; 44 I'll get to work on, sadly I don't have Chambers.

44 I've just checked - Wikipedia has it. You are looking for a 6 letter word which is a Scots dialect synonym of the answer.

Badger4: found the S..... B.....; thanks.
I think you must be older than me to remember Old Lob".

radar, anagram of first three words gives an author. one of their books fits the rest of the clue.

anagram first three words for author then take it from there.
Hint for 89 would be useful. Be as it may appear, is copper with it for the hard track
