I go back to mid 70s - Kingston Town stands alone.

Next in a bunch are Manikato, Sunline, Might And Power, Northerly, Let's Elope, Better Loosen Up, Octagonal, Red Anchor.

From my reading I'd say Tulloch was robbed of the all time best title through illness and a poor decision not to run in and win the 1957 Melbourne Cup.

For those who don't remember KT, the euphoria surrounding the excellent effort of Elvstroem on Saturday ( one idiot named Bartley said in the Sunday paper it was one of the greatest ever wins in Victorian racing !!!!! ) was equalled or surpassed by the King countless times. He broke 1.10 for 1200m and won Syndey Cups, Cox Plates, Derbies, G1 miles and in 4 states of Australia.

That's a champion.
