You two will have to agree to disagree. I probably thought Makybe might be a little higher but that is MY opinion. I am really enjoying reading these though Chuck.

14. MIGHT AND POWER: Excellent horse that came to fame with its 16-1 demolition of a good Caulfield Cup field in 1997, by 6 lengths. He completed the prestigious double when he went on to win the Melbourne Cup by the smallest of margins when Greg Hall thought he had won on Doreimus. Followed this up with wins in the Cox Plate, Caulfield Stks, Doomben Cup, Queen Elizabeth and the Mercedes Classic

yes he is in the top ten, around the 7 if i remember correctly. At least if the horse i think your referring to is the right one ;)

Well the one I think you could be talking about is one I am interested in but the one I was referring to is a fairly old horse widely considered somewhat underated around the country I mean I have never even seen the horse race I am just interested to see where you rate him cause my father has often said he was one of the best he ever saw.

hmmm, well i was referring to one that i think you are quite keen on.

there are two horses in the list that raced in the very early 20th century and these are the oldest....then obviously phar lap a bit later...and you may have seen the rest i think

lol Mate I am only 29 for christs sake, the horse I am talking about ran around the mid 40's to 50's I believe he was actually finished racing before my father was even born I believe just he remebers seeing footage of the horse and hearing his father talk about him.

13. NORTHERLY: Very tough West Australian horse that won 19 from 37. Main wins included 2 Cox Plates, 2 Australian Cups, 2 Underwood Stakes, a Caulfield Stakes and a Caulfield Cup

12. SCHILACI: One of the great sprinters that ended with a career total of 16 wins from 36 starts. Won major sprint races the Lightning Stks (twice), the Oakleigh Plate, the Newmarket Hcp and the Galaxy; and also 2 Futurity stks and a George Ryder

11. POSEIDON: Very good stayer that won the VRC and AJC Derbys, VRC and AJC St Legers, an Eclipse Stks, 2 Caulfield Cups and a Melbourne Cup

so, the top ten coming up....any predictions?

32 and 34, hallmark won in 33 :)
