yea theres been a few articles about whether lonhro's a champ or not. down here in melbourne they quite often refuse to give ye old ro the respect it deserves. i read an article lately saying that a true champion has to win 2 major races and that the australian cup was the only one that ro won. as far as im concerned nearly 6 million in prizemoney, a strikerate from hell and 11 group 1's is enuff to earn his stripes. i thought he was a lil unlucky in the cox. its not your average bear thats for sure. ive been glad to of witnessed his presence thats for sure. am i the only one that hopes alinghi might go on and be a champ? hehe anybody!
