Okay, after Lonhro's great win in the Australian Cup, I thought I'd ask your opinions of the greatest horses and the greatest races you've seen or heard. Is Lonhro's win up there with the best?

Apparently, Greg Miles said it was the best performance in an Australian Cup or something like that. Is that right? I have great respect for Greg Miles, but personally I think the best Australian Cup win was in 1990. That was the year when Vo Rogue which had been written off by many, put in an incredible performance to hold off a field including Better Loosen Up, Super Impose, Stylish Century and Sydeston. Does anybody else remember that race? They replay it quite a bit on Radiotab up here and no matter how many times I hear it, I still get goosebumps. It was absolutely brilliant. Of course, I must admit that Vo Rogue is one of my favourite all time horses, so I guess I'm biased. However, Shane Templeton said on radio this morning that he also thought that was the best Australian Cup win.
