Bordi I don't whether I need to ask the question but what is your top 10 horses you have done nothing but bag evryone elses opinion so how about putting it out there for everyone else to have a go at.

She was a great horse but she wasn't the best how could anyone say anything is better than anything else until the day they invent a time machine and can race all the best horses over time against eachother at peek fitness in the best of conditions the maybe someone can argue one is better than the other.

As far as the prize money thing goes well they have done Pharlaps career earnings using the figures from the year 2000 and he actually won more prize money than she did when it is done like that. Kingston Town would be right up there I imagine aswell with 3 Cox Plates at todays rates to go with all the other races he won.

This is all one persons opinion everyone has there own I personally think Starcraft was as good a miler as I have seen race and most people do not share that opinion, The problem was that most of Australia hated the horse probably firstly because he was a Queenslander and secondly because of the owner, However I do give him alot of credit he did things other owners wouldn't do and in my opinion when Starcraft went to the UK and won he did more for Australian racing than anyone before him he beat the poms at a distance they like to think they have very good horses at where as it has always been questioned that there sprinters are truly world class still Choisir's feats should never be knocked either.
