Not mine. Absolutely nothing to do with me. But I will remind everyone that censor Mighty Atom is on the look out for anything sensical and is very touchy about ITMQ. Maybe you should start with Google dictionary?

Who wants a head to head bet. First past the post in the Inter final (as long as both start in the heat)?
Some of us Brendan can simply 'just appreciate' both of these horses for who they are and what they have both achieved, without getting into some stupid slanging match which is nothing more than an endeavor of conjecture...everyones got an opinion but whose got the conclusive answer. Nobody. Because there is no answer. Unless these two horses competed in the same races, against the same horses, on the same track over varying distances for their whole careers could someone definitively say one was better than the other. So the arguement really is no arguement at all.Quote:

There are too many variables in a race with barrier positions, racing patterns, pace and interference playing too much of a role in an Inter final to bet with any confidence on either of these horses at this stage. And it will probably not slow the arguements down either because of any of those factors just mentioned. In any case, at this stage Terror To Love is my early pick. The biggest reason being his owner said after his last NZ campaign he would not be tempted to keep him up for the Vic Cup, putting him in the paddock and putting the horse first. (If) he is there on Finals afternoon, he is going to be ready to rock!
Exactly, which is why I put the bet up - because we can all argue until the cows come home but we aren't really getting anywhere and opinions aren't changing.Quote:

I will never knock ITMQ as a horse - he is a great horse and I'd love to own him. You can't blame him for how the NZ inter was given to him, nor can you blame him for the substandard but rich races he wins easily in WA.
I personally think at both their best Smoken Up is/was the better horse - think he proved that in the NZ inter dominion (don't care what anyone says SU won that race), in the miracle mile, and in the victoria cup last year. The WA ID result doesn't count around that pokey little track. That's just my opinion. And I do think ITMQ's $$ are grossly inflated over what they would've been had the eagles boys not bought him back in the day and instead he'd run his whole career in the east. Once again just my opinion. I don't believe that is knocking ITMQ to have those opinions.
He was a Kiwi?Quote:
