I know I'm just repeating myself here BUT, do you guys really believe if Quinny was stuck in the death, he would have won or finished ahead of Avonnova? And Kev, I don't look at a horses stake money to decide wether that defines them as one of the greatest horse. Trigger always won that Inter fair and square regardless of what transpired afterwards. I would love to see Trigger and Quinny go at it again, if Trigger was in his prime. Now that's exciting!

Yep, he's just getting warmed up over that short distance but it's all academic, race is run and won. We'll never know.


If you wanted a match race between the two in their prime, I'd chuck Poppy in to make it really interesting.
