    I have seen almost all of the great horses race from 1969 to the present day such as Koala King, Paleface Adios, Mount Eden, Popular Alm, Christian Cullen the list goes on, but I've narrowed it down to 7.
    1. I'm Themightyquinn
    2. Mount Eden
    3. Blacks a Fake
    4. Smoken Up
    5. Pure Steel
    6. Village Kid
    7. Our Sir Vancelot

    I think he once held a world record but that could be a tale.

    Also rate highly Shakamaker, Pure steel, Double Identity and as everyone is saying Cullen was pretty special. Sorry there are too many.
    Pretty sure your right about Paleface Adios Jeff, I remember seeing it on Tele years ago but have failed to find it in my research. The distance was odd, Maybe a flying 1000 metre race and for some reason I think it was at Richmond or out that way, Definitley wasn't at HP.

    Mares in New Zealand headed by likes of ( but in no particular order) Armalight (18 wins) Bonnies Chance (32 wins) Delightful Lady (47 wins ) and Blossom Lady (43 wins)

    Trotters definitely headed by Lyell Creek ( 56 wins) while other greats would include Scotch Notch (65 wins) Sir Castleton (44 wins) Take A Moment (39 wins) Pride Of Petite (35 wins) and I Can Doosit (36 wins)

    CANE SMOKE.He might not be the best horse but any horse that had 400 starts for 120 wins and 136 places has to get a mention.

    Very unusual to see Popular Alm left out of any list of best horses seen. Other great horses are Halwes, Westburn Grant and Gammalite.

    Not sure if i added Iraklis, if not, he deserves a spot in here. I remember Jack Morris was always being mentioned and huge wraps.

    I agree Trevor. The only reason I left him out was because he only had 62 starts. I have no doubt he would have achieved even more if he hadn't been retired because of injury. The only horse I could have removed from that list to include Poppy would have been Mount Eden and to be honest he wasn't a favourite of mine, but what that horse could do to others after giving them huge starts would probably be statistically impossible today. Gammalite, Westburn Grant, Gundary Flyer, San Simeon were other favourites along with a local champ Binshaw ( 1967 I.D. winner ). ''Binny" returned to racing after serious injury and won his last race as a 14 year old in the Fremantle Members Mile on the old Richmond Raceway. He died in 1996 at the age of 35 and his remains were buried at the winning post at Gloucester Park. I've seen many great champions and it's always difficult to compile a list of the best but I would be hardpressed to find better than these top 7.

    Being a little younger, I never had the priviledge of seeing many of the older horses race live.

    From what I have seen I would go:

    Christian Cullen
    Elsu
    Blacks a Fake
    Imthemightyquinn
    Smoken Up
    Our Sir Vancelot
