Ok, trying to sus if there's a fan base for this little horsey. The last fanworthy horses I'm aware of are Lonhro & Northerley. I was a huge Northerley fan after Roy & HG labelled him "The Schitzophrenic Horse." And I hated Sunline. So yeah, I'm following Starcraft this season, but just can't believe Northerley is still racing, and for the record how old is he?

Your obviously not a real Northerly fan if you don't know his age. He is eight years old. I backed starcraft in the debonair and I believe he has a pretty reasonable fan base. I'm a pretty big wrap for the horse but I must say "Go Northerly"

No prizes for guessing who I want to win the Cox Plate.

But I have a lot of time for Starcraft, it's a shame that Reset isn't still racing. I reckon the 2 of them would have had some awesome battles.

GO NORTHERLY!!!!!!!!!!

Not many horses get criticised for a bad run when they win a group 2 race on foriegn soil. This fellow is exceptional and i cant wait to see him when he comes to Melbourne.

I have been on this horse since he was running around in brisbane I remeber a race there where he was boxed in all the way till the 100m mark then he finally got some space and came from about 6 lengths off them to win by about a length I have never seen anything like it in my life.


That was the run that got me hooked backed him almost every start since but lately I haven't cause I refuse to back horses paying less than $2.50.

So...did Northerley race as a 2 year old? And dude, you're obviously not a true Northerley fan if you're named after ANOTHER HORSE, but let's not go there... So it's Northerley and Starcraft 1 & 2 in the Cox? Does anyone know the full field?

Northerly didnt race as a ywo year old. The final field wont be out until the week before the race but will be something similar to this I imagine

Northerly
Grand Armee
Fields of Omagh
Natural Blitz
Starcraft
Private Steer (doubtful)
Zagalia

Starcraft is a gun and will win the cox as long as he keeps his mind on the job. If he isn't he will get beat. Curious, Starcraft, how could you hate SUNLINE? I could understand if you hated that overrated cat LONHRO, the sydney squib, but SUNLINE, please

I hate the big mares that you never even hear about until they take it all (all bart cummings work, mainly), plus any annoying greys (doreimus the DONKEY), and anything without a personality (ie Octagonal). Sunline was really ruining my enjoyment of racing, I couldn't help getting annoyed, luckily in came the schitzophrenic horse and little lonhro (picures all around my desk as we speak). I like all good chestnuts, though, and haven't seen a good one since Saintly / General Nediym. Hey, wasn't Bassie's Pride the prettiest horse ever? And Rough Habit.
