Just for a bit of fun and memory recall. The same horse can't be used in each category.
The best horse to never win a :
Inter Dominion ( must have raced in 3 heat and final series).
Hunter Cup.
Group One.
I'll start it off. Inter- Paleface Adios in Perth when he fell.
Christian Cullen for the Huter Cup when he got pole axed at the start.
Karloo Mick for no group one's, He won over a million dollars without a Group One success.
Karloo Mick gets my vote too Greg
Interdominion easy one. Comes to mind straight away.
Pure Steel. Finished 2nd and 3rd in finals.
Keeping in mind he won a Miracle Mile and 3 Hunter Cups. Also a Kilmore Cup in it's heyday when it was one of the biggest races on the calendar.
The other two I'll need to think about somewhat longer.
Interdominion: Popular Alm. Enough said!
Hunter Cup: Smoken Up. Although hes still racing, its likely hell retire without one.
Group 1: Could be anything. I'll go with Decorated Jasper.
Inter: Bold Biami
Hunter Cup: Caduceus
Group 1 : Flash Adios
Best horse never to have won an ID - Courage Under Fire
Forgot about Flash Adios he was a very good horse. Peak Hill bred.Quote:

Castleton's Mission - 3 x G1 placed, 2 x G2 placed, 1 x G2 winner.
Interdom: Pure Steel
Hunter Cup: Young Quinn
Group 1: Karloo Mick
Inter Dominon - Quantum Lobell - Wasn't he the leading point scorer at both Globe Derby 1997 and Hobart 1998.
and the track record holder at Newcastle 1.53.1 (also set 1997)
He also made the final in 1999 in Auckland i think.
Correct, very very good horse that didn't realise his full potentialQuote:

His biggest problem was the horse stabled next to him - Our Sir Vancelot,
