Talking I like that horse!

Thread starter

I think most of us have at least one favourite horse that is currently racing. There can be any number of reasons. Here are just a few:

1. You keep backing the horse and keep making money on it. Some punters back a horse every race it runs and if they select the right horse they make a killing. Just like any punters who backed Saturday's Doncaster Handicap winner, Vision and Power for a win in every one of its races would be returning a profit of more than 100% on turnover.

2. The horse has guts and never gives in. It might get trapped wide or might get bumped in a race but unlike many horses which give up and wait till their next race, this horse fights on.

3. Or you might love the way the horse nearly always wins those close finishes, like the way Octagonal kept on winning.

4. Or you might like the way a horse wins when it's up against the odds and not expected to win.

Terms of Use for this thread: Let's keep all posts positive.

1. To keep this thread really useful for everyone let's restrict it to horses that are still racing at the time of your post.

2. No bagging of horses or criticising anyone because you don't like one of their favourite horses.

There have been a few good money spinners for me over the past couple of months. Three of these have been
  • Cocinero
  • Happy Glen
  • Fifth Avenue Lady
All three seem to hold their form once they strike it and usually at better odds with each win - go figure!

without doubt the mighty MALDIVIAN for me. have loved this horse from the early starts, its win in the yalumba beating the hotpot miss finland was awesome, then came back after everyone wrote it off to win the cox. won 6 cartons of scotch cans that day from mates. love the way it gets to the front and dictates a race...
Apache cat doesnt owe me a cent either, i seem to back it at the right times, just love the look of the cat, always liked german chocolate, has cost me a fortune because i always believed he had the class to win a big race, now that i own a part of him i like him even more!!

good thread!!

LARGO LAD owes me plenty......but i keep coming back for more! i'll stop backing him eventually

Camarilla was a fave a couple of years ago....others that spring to mind are Portland Singa, Private Steer....won plenty off them

but nothing in recent times will ever top SUNLINE.....absolutely loved that beast

Currently racing for me it would be both Apache Cat and Hot Danish neither of those owe me anything, Also Black Piranha although he doesn't win regularly his place odds have been pretty good alot of times.

Liked the way Megatic got to the line, winning at Ascot on Saturday. Has had one unsuccessful stint over east where he failed to show anywhere near his best & had his last campaign cut short with a disappointing run in the Lee Steere Stakes. I think he may just go on with it this time around.
