I absolutely admire what I've seen of Christian Cullen. That Miracle Mile win is breathtaking.
I am only young so while I could rattle off ones I've seen video of I will have to stick to what I've seen and can vividly remember. Blacks a Fake or Im Themightyquinn for mine.
Let's not turn this into a thread of who's better than who, I am sure we all have valid arguments for our opinions but I am equally sure we can all just get nostalgic at the great names that will be mentioned without making it a contest.
For me, it's Popular Alm in this part of the world and Artsplace in the US.
Cullen for me
Smoken Up :) Also really liked Franco Ice.
Yes lets remember what the great man Bart Cummings said "Champions don't deserve to be compared...just respected".
Was something like that. Flashed on Sky Channel other night between races from Ireland and who knows where while they played elevator music between races as no one in studio.
Best I ever saw (and I guess you mean saw live).. without a doubt Popular Alm. In the Ash's (trotters) category again without a doubt, Maoris Idol.
When you have been around as long as I have it becomes near impossible to put one horse above all others.
Mount Eden at Addington in 1971-- Breathtaking time trial in the wet
Lord Module at Addington in 1981 over Gammalite- Unbelievable performance
Chokin at Addington in 1993-Out and out champion
Christian Cullen in 1998-Miracle Mile at Harold Park was special
Blacks A Fake in 2010-Inter-Dominion final at Menangle was toughest run i've seen
And thats just the colt and geldings
Still the mares and trotters to go
I'm looking forward to seeing all these names come up. Going to YouTube them all and see them in there glory years. They are all Champions, and I'm sure we are all grateful for all the very special memories they have given & give to each of us, in our own special ways, regardless of different eras. Loved Knight Pistol as a trotter!
Shakamaker for mine.
Have a look at the 2000 Inter replay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cozLe-wz9iY
