Good to read some of the responses here I always liked both Sunline and Northerly and Umrum Crawl was so close to my list aswell backed him nearly every start when I started following racing.

Sven Machtig was a horse I followed aswell when I saw him racing the name was just so crazy you had to back him he wasn't a bad horse either. Another I used to like was a horse named Mr. Eurostar ran 4th in Ethereals melbourne cup I think i remember i had 1st, 3rd, 4th & 5th in my trifecta would have paid pretty well to off memory but hey thats the way things go.

Diva- Didn't back her all the time but should have, watched her from the track all three cups, Aust Cup, Cox Plate sad to see her retire.

Lohnro - They kept offering half decent prices and you knew you could load up and he wouldn't let you down, Australia cup win was awesome.

Zazzman and Zanna - The two Z's must go together as they made 2003 the biggest spring carnival of my life along with the diva and.

Regal Roller, backed him when he won on Guineas day in 2003 then won a fortune on him as he rose through the ranks.

Alinghi - Her acceleration was unbelieveable, could turn defeat into easy victory in a bound. Backed her at every start of her career (except the 2004 Dubai Duty free as the Roller had more in favour) Cost me plenty on Derby day but made up tenfold in the Newmarket.

Silk Ali - I backed him at his first Gosford start and was impressed i never got off him....i hated it when that show pony Dye used to ride him i think Kennedy could ride him just as well.

Slight Chance - I think if she had not got a bad track in the leadup to the 92 slipper i think she would have won if she had got a run...i have to admit Burst was a fantastic 2yo but that was it she never realy made it past that.

On Kylie's Run - i tried to do a form search for this one but can't find it listed....i remember the horse as an average runner that used to love leading in 1600m races it would get to the front and just hold on.....won some good money from the horse

Might and Power - I remember before the Caulfield cup win they were bagging him a bit....i kept saying just wait till he hits the distances he likes he is a champ in the making, he was ok under 2000m but once he got over that he was fantastic

Grand Armee - won a packet when he beat Lonhro i just licked the way he raced.

BTW was that "liked"

In no particular order..

Subzero...The first horse which I backed in a Melbourne cup which won. Nice to see him still guiding the youngsters around as the CotC's horse.

Regal Roller...I just loved the way he would get out there and say "catch me". A bit of a track/distance specialist but he would always have a go.

Sunline...struck me as an angry bitch of a horse but gee she was good. Couldn't help but cheer her on when she rounded the turn at the Valley.

Makybe Diva...she did things that no other horse has ever done. Need I say more.

Rogan Josh...Another horse I successfully backed in the cup. Went and visited him in Capel in WA on one of my holidays. He and the little pony that lived with him appeared to be gay...but there is obviously nothing wrong with that.(Seinfeld)

on another note guys who was the 1st horse you backed which won a race mine would have been Kiwi in the Melbourne Cup at a very young age around 6 or 7 not sure now I just know it was a damn long time ago after that there was Silver Knight and At Talaq I have no idea what made me back these horses probably name more than anything.

First horse ever to win for me was Saintly in the '96 cup.

First one to win while i was at the track was called Umpire.

Good times,

Sven

You guys are makin' me feel old!
