How can a horse that has won 3 of her last 18 starts be called the greatest mare of all time??

Won 2 Melbourne Cups I hear you say. So did Think Big and Rain Lover. Both carried 2.5kgs or more than MD in their second win so equivalent weight carrying efforts counting the mares allowance. Go find me a racing person who puts RL or TB in their top 25 of all time. You won't.

She is good at what she does - very good. But one dimensional. Let's see her win a 1400m Group One WFA first up in the Autumn and win the Aust Cup by 3.5 lengths under a grip.

Let's Elope still the queen.
