It's actually a newsagency.

You shouldn't believe half of what you read in those newpapers. Actual events and how they are reported are often a long way apart.

For once, i totally agree with you, the papers are full of crap, it's lucky i don't get all the facts that i have stated in previous posts from these papers, as they would most probably be wrong, but they are'nt.

I got the impression that all that nonsense came from the newspapers.

No, they came from the Racing Services Bureau and if you call these facts nonsense and think they are wrong, i suggest that you take it up with them. I've gotta fly, i'm sure there will be more comments from your good self, to keep this debate going.

look no one can dispute that sunline is a great mare and has runs on the board and her greatest asset over her career has been her soundness. lets elope won group 1 races from 1400 to 3200 metres, sunline will never and never could have done that. there is chinks in her armour and even if she were to win a third cox plate she realistically cannot be considered the greatest ever. kingston town, super impose, might and power and old gunsynd could do it all.

Rufhabit,
First of all, welcome to the forum, secondly, i or nobody else claimed she was the greatest ever, all i have mentioned is she would have to be up there, at the very least in the top 5, that's my opinion anyway, thirdly, you say there is chinks in her armour because she can't run 3200, look at say, 100m spinters, Lewis, Green, Michael Johnson (not Ben) Fredericks, i could go on and on, but i won't, just because they can't run the 800m, 1500m, marathons etc, does that make them any less worthy to be labled some of the gratest ever? i think not. That is just one example, but if you look at a great majority of sports, you will find that most athletes and animals, concentrate on certain distances that their bodys can handle, or what distances they are most suited. Of course there are exceptions in every sport, as you have eluded to with the brilliant horses you have named and look at Thorpey, he is an absolute freak, but when all is said and done,i do take your point,but these horses and athletes, make up what would have to be the tiniest of percentages and are very rare to say the least. Lastly, why would connections want to concentrate on the distance races, they have $11 million reasons not to.

Sunline is a great champion whether you like
it or not! but there is two other horses i
would rated equal or better than her and they
are Might and Power {won caulfield cup by 7
lengths and leading all the way and won the
Melbourne cup****how many horses can win these
2 big races like this! and the other horses
are Kingston Town {what a super champion horse in his era**** any one disagree please
welcome to post!
cheers!
