Hate to bring this up, then, but I distinctly remember it being Lonhro who placed behind Sunline & Northerly, so are you saying these horses are sub-standard? I don't really think you can bag Lonhro after his complete domination of all the horses racing at that time, maybe start redirecting your complaints at the person who retired Octagonal and get over it.

Dont want an argument but you'll find Lonhro was unplaced in that Cox Plate.
Im not saying Lonhro was no good. Any horse with his recors is a champ and Id love to own him but he cant be compared to Sunline, Northerly, Might and Power imo, thats all

You may be thinking of Viscount, Starcraft they wore the same colors. He was nearly a good thing beaten that day when squeezed between the two champs.

I'm not referring to the Cox Plate (I have another post trying to distinquish which race that was?) - I'm saying Lonhro was a placer around supreme quality, and he came into his own after that time. I don't think this is a highly competitive time for racehorses, and Starcraft is certainly the most dominant force out there. Consistency is the question, I'd really like to see him racing for a couple more years.
