I like that horse!
 

Thread starter

I think most of us have at least one favourite horse that is currently racing. There can be any number of reasons. Here are just a few:

1. You keep backing the horse and keep making money on it. Some punters back a horse every race it runs and if they select the right horse they make a killing. Just like any punters who backed Saturday's Doncaster Handicap winner, Vision and Power for a win in every one of its races would be returning a profit of more than 100% on turnover.

2. The horse has guts and never gives in. It might get trapped wide or might get bumped in a race but unlike many horses which give up and wait till their next race, this horse fights on.

3. Or you might love the way the horse nearly always wins those close finishes, like the way Octagonal kept on winning.

4. Or you might like the way a horse wins when it's up against the odds and not expected to win.

2. No bagging of horses or criticising anyone because you don't like one of their favourite horses.

im going with BLAZE ADRIFT again in the last at kilmore strong looking horse that gives his best every race if there is no traffic of course.

There have been a few good money spinners for me over the past couple of months. Three of these have been

• Cocinero
• Happy Glen
• Fifth Avenue Lady

All three seem to hold their form once they strike it and usually at better odds with each win - go figure!

also in the last at goulburn READY RESET GO. love the sire and she ran huge for me last out. she looped them pretty easy so hopefully she does it again.

but the bad news is here in the states we will be cut off after the 6th at goulburn.

hopefully shell run huge for someone else.

without doubt the mighty MALDIVIAN for me. have loved this horse from the early starts, its win in the yalumba beating the hotpot miss finland was awesome, then came back after everyone wrote it off to win the cox. won 6 cartons of scotch cans that day from mates. love the way it gets to the front and dictates a race...
Apache cat doesnt owe me a cent either, i seem to back it at the right times, just love the look of the cat, always liked german chocolate, has cost me a fortune because i always believed he had the class to win a big race, now that i own a part of him i like him even more!!

good thread!!

LARGO LAD owes me plenty......but i keep coming back for more! i'll stop backing him eventually :p

Camarilla was a fave a couple of years ago....others that spring to mind are Portland Singa, Private Steer....won plenty off them

but nothing in recent times will ever top SUNLINE.....absolutely loved that beast

what a champion

Currently racing for me it would be both Apache Cat and Hot Danish neither of those owe me anything, Also Black Piranha although he doesn't win regularly his place odds have been pretty good alot of times.

Glowlamp!


I'm enjoying Miss Maren's fomr at the minute if it goes into the Syd Cup i'll back it. Happy Glen has also been good to me.

Post deleted. This is a positive thread about members' favourite horses that are currently racing, not horses that "frustrate" members. Once we go on that tangent then we'll end up with people posting about horses they can't stand. That's NOT this thread.

Im all over Black Piranha at the moment, also I love the way Swiss Ace fights so hard at the ends of his races.

In the past I followed a horse called Motivate, the first time I backed it it came second in an Ipswich cup behind Portland Singa and I followed it for the next couple of yars, never won anything but ran a few nice places untill it finally won paying about $30. I think after following it for so long that was possibly the happiest day of my life lol.
