Karloo Mick gets my vote too Greg
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.
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
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
He was stabled about ten metres away from us at Newcastle showground when I was a young fella, a mighty little horse old flash, won good races at HP, Melbourne showgrounds and Brisbane, the Dows bred him, trained and driven by J.R Austin, some people knew him as Jack and some people knew him as Bob, grew up in Cessnock, in fact I bought a place off his brother Dick a few years ago and still have it.
Franco Ledger would have to be right up there.
Victor Supreme was unlucky not to win a G1. Placed in both the Auckland Cup and Interdominion Grand Final.
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
