| There have been a lot of good KIWI horses perform over the years but the one they never saw in Aust would have been a sensation and in his day would have pressed the likes of Dalray and Tulloch. I speak only of the mighty Mainbrace. |

Vain was certainly incredible, if you saw him race, you would never forget him!
Gunsynd was a peoples champion, and I loved to see him race.
I think Makybe Diva is my pick. |

Well I have to be cheeky here and say my own ex racehorse Anabatik whose archived races truly stunned me and have got me interested in the sport of racing. The heart and try of many of these horses is far more than you'll ever seen in the dressage arena or show field.
And from a rider/owner point of view (and admittedly my limited outings to the track thus far) I have to throw in a vote for Maunder. That is the most handsome, well balanced race horse I have seen! He really is poetry (and would look fabulous in the dressage arena LOL) |

| There are some great horse mentioned here. You've got Kingston Town, Sunline, Super Impose, The Diva, Better Loosen Up etc, from the modern era. But one seems to be missing. The Big O. It's hard to go past him for one reason. Sheer guts and determination. I've seen all of the horses listed above, but Octagonal is the one I'll NEVER forget. |

| I've just read all 8 pages of this and certainly agree on Kingston Town as the best galloper I have seen live with daylight 2nd to 8th. I am 'however, gob smacked that no one has even mentioned the best race horse I have ever seen, a pacer from Tasmania who did most of his racing at Harold Park named HALWES.I will never forget the night that they had to allow Quinella betting only at the park when he came off a standing start from 96 yards back and beat Cardinal Bruce, the second half of the fav quinella at 20-1, by half the length of the straight. Truly the best I have ever seen. |

I had the pleasure of riding Kingston Town and yes you are right
He was a mighty horse, But not the best I have ever seen
But that doesn't matter You were only describing the best you have seen and KT is certainly right up there with the best of 'em |

Yes
Mount Eden is by far the best I have seen in 30 years.
Re Gallopers
I cannot decide. So many good ones
But I think if any one has a close look at the deeds of Aquanita,{Check the Millers Guide) - then that horse must rate right up with the likes of Sunline, Northerly, Kingston Town etc. |
