doreimus wasnt a grey. How could you hate occy and sunline two absolute champs.

I think hes thinking of subby

How could you hate Sunline ? never seen a horse break the hearts of chasing jockeys like she did..she was a freak that only if we are blessed will we see another as good,.

Here,Here, mav. If you hate the mighty mare, what does it take to love a horse?
Her wins at the Cox Plate are as good as i've ever seen, excepting maybe M+P.That was a great day at the Valley, but her wins were just breathtaking.

Stracraft, you would have loved Family Of Man, he's the best looking horse i have ever seen, and Mugs if you think Lonhro is over-rated it doesnt say much for the melbourne meow's that finished behind him in the Australian Cup after getting polaxed and still getting up to win... think their still eating whiska's !

Umrum, you've really got me curious, what did you ever see in Umrum? As far as my circle can remember, he only won a couple of races and was never big news...

Umrum was one of the gutsiest horses to race in recent memory. He raced on Toorak handicap/caufield guineas day 6 years in a row. He won two tooraks one at 40/1(thank you) and placed in another two. was placed behind greats like tie the knot, sunline, easy rocking(in the salinger beaten a lip after winning the toorak his previous start). He was an absolute certainty beaten behind Mr Murphy in a dubai R.C he also beat Gold Guru/. This horse was tough and talented. he just kept going around an running great races. He hardly ever ran a bad race, if he did he either ran a beauty his next start or he went out for a spell.

That is why this unheralded topliner is one of my favourites just behind the immortal equine champion Northerly.

cheers
umrum

Starcraft I am not going to rip you to much but unlike some people I don't just jump onto the next great thing to come around.

For your information I have followed Raw Instinct since very early in his 3yo year the first time I backed him he beat Cumbria in a protest at around 12-1 and have backed him every single start since.


So what if I chose to use Raw Instinct as my name does that mean that I don't love both of these horses. Aparently it does to you anyway.


I ask you now how long have you followed the horse????? had you even heard of it before the Debonair? probably not.

This is the best horse I have ever seen and I have said that for along time I know how much the horse means to me which sounds ridiculos that in the end is all that matters as far as I am concerned.

Ok I will concede the horse means nothing to anybody else but he was one of the first horses I really started to follow and for that reason alone he will always be one of my favourites but I will say that Starcraft has taken over that mantle for me for the simple fact that I don't think Raw will actually that much anymore anyway if even at all.

Okay, maybe I should just call myself Triscay and shut up

Thats the whole point GM. The melbourbe horses he beat are cats, in terms of talking about superstars. I mean he beat Delzao, who is just a good honest horse.
How did LONHRO go at the valley. He wasnt in the same stratosphere as Northerly when he won in the "Best Cox Plate" field ever assembled.
LONHRO was a top horse in Sydney, no arguments, but in his grand final in Melbourne, the COX plate, he was found wanting.
