| Horizens - youre back! Gotta agree with you here. Whod have thought it?! Rating WH to that level is somewhat farcical. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| And second only to Sacred Kingdom with a rating of 123. Well Done S.Kingdom!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A N Z World Classifications Committee rated Weekend Hussler with a rating of 122. Don't take any notice of this. What has he beaten? Mediocre horses that wouldn't win a race in the Northern hemisphere! |

| just throwing another pacers name into the ring-blacks a fake-3 interdominions in a row,only the second time ever-to pinch a famous line-the champ becomes a legend. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I admit when I first posted here I overlooked her, but I am somewhat surprised that no-one has mentioned the great mare Sunline. How many Cox Plates did she win?? Two I believe and placed second in another behind another champion whose name doesn't appear on the list either....Octagonal. Not to mention Ocky's son Lonhro. I know there's way too many to mention. We all have our favourites. Here's some more unnamed that come to mind. The grey flash...Schillaci. The tragedy....Dulcify. The greatest....Phar Lap (although not too many on here has seen him). The big fellow....Might and Power. Far too many to name. |

| The greatest horse I've ever seen was Discreet Cat. Discreet Cat is the best thoroughbred ever and would've easily defeated Barbaro in the K.Derby and left Bernadini and Invasor in the dust in the Breeder's Cup. His connections did him an injustice as they never let him get into the biggest races because they were afraid he'd beat their other horses which they had hype and money invested in. It is lame! I have never seen such a "Push Button" horse. He could give you a tremendous burst of speed anywhere on the track. This was BS not letting him run, then he got sick before the Dubai Cup and never recovered. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I may get flamed for this, but.... Curlin. He's the best I've ever seen. I've believed that from the moment I first laid eyes on him in the Rebel. He confirmed my belief by winning the Preakness in courageous fashion (I had the pleasure of seeing this live), and then capturing the Breeder's Cup Classic and defeating a field that included Street Sense, Hard Spun, Lawyer Ron, Any Given Saturday, and Tiago (not to mention George Washington, R.I.P.). |

| The best thoroughbred I have seen is definitely Kingston Town, what about when he was out four wide all the way in one of his last runs in Perth, on a hard track with a sore leg,Three Cox's, salute this champ, I have seen something from God. Long live the King.Pacer Mount Eden. Great Site Terry | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Best "1st up" horse - Shaftesbury Avenue Best 3yo filly - Inaflury (had the wood on them all that season until injury befell her) Best horse - gotta say Makybe Diva...3 cups says it all. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Without a moments hesitation..MIGHT AND POWER..won group 1's by massive margins more than once,did all the heartbreak work at the front at almost every start...in his prime 18 months before injury he was unstoppable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The King and The man is great viewing...well worthwhile getting a hold of it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The best horse I've ever seen race live was Better Loosen Up in the Cox Plate. The best horse I've seen race on some other medium was without a doubt Kingston Town. The exact quote was, "...Kingston Town can't win." The other posters have covered his superlatives and the DVD/Video "The King and The Man" adequately cover the careers of both Manikato and Kingston Town. The biggest win I've ever seen was either Dulcify in the Cox Plate in '79 or Might and Power's Caulfield Cup. Both were dominating wins by a huge space against open company field. Kingston Town's biggest wins were against restricted company in his 3 year old classics. His first Cox Plate win resulted in a suspensory injury that would dog him for the rest of his racing career. The most thrilling race would have to be Bonecrusher and Our Waverly Star in that Cox Plate. A toe-to-toe, no-holds-barred bloodbath from three furlongs out. Great theatre. Bill could always call a race, although Bert was always my favourite. |

| Some of the Best Trotters - Lyell Creek, Knight Pistol, Pride of Petite, La Coocaracha, Wagon Apollo | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I dont think anyone can argue with Popular Alm - talk about special. Its scary to think what hed do to todays fields if he was on song. So far though, the names thrown up would make 1 hell of inter-dominion field. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| popular alm-what a freak he was-pity about vin knight though-ill throw in pure steel and gammalite-2 of the toughest pacers ever to go round-and for a trotter maoris idol-some of his wins off ridiculous handicaps were legendary. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ths saddest thing Mullins is that youre not even capable of any veiled attempt at humour. Youre just out to be noticed, be difficult and see your own petty thoughts on screen, thus giving you a self satisfaction and belief that you matter. Pretty easy actually, im done on the matter, youre just not worth the time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If you are talking trotters what about Popular Alm ? It held the world record for a mile at one stage ! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The best ive seen was that black one with white stripes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
