Favourite jockey of all time: Pat Eddery

Answer 4

Dylan Thomas is sure something.  I never play horses once they get down below 9/5, but when I got him at 6/5 a couple weeks ago I thought it was I like a gift from out of the clousds.  I have to say Activity is number one becaue I had him atop Imperium for a $203 exacta in his comeback race last winter.  I like Gib and the hurdler Collier's Court as well, because they seem like such honest race horses.  Of course, the all time greatest is Malabar, the rocking horse winner!

Answer 5

desert orchid<3

Answer 6

Ouija Board.

I think in terms of racing prowess, she's one of the best overall horses I've seen, in terms of racing a full career, and running so well so often (even if not winning).  And people loved her wherever she ran, Europe, the US, Asia, it didn't matter.

I've only been a fan for about 2 years, though, but I would put her on par with Lava Man and Barbaro.  (I wasn't really a true beliver of Invasor, even though he is/was great).

Kinda surprised that nobody mentioned her yet.

Answer 14

The one & only Best Mate was my favourite racehorse.

Answer 15

I think my favorite UK-bred racehorse was *Vaguely Noble.  He was bred in the UK, even though he did most of his best racing in Europe.  He won the Prix De l'Arc de Triomphe, beating a field that included, among others, Derby winner Sir Ivor.  As I understand it, *Vaguely Noble was either not nominated for the English classics, or his nomination was voided by the death of his owner (can't remember which), so the Arc was virtually the only chance he had of showing his class against the best of the UK and Europe.  

As a sire, *Vaguely Noble was the sire of many good stakes winners, including Ace of Aces, Epsom Derby winner Empery, American champion Estrapade, the great Exceller, g*y Mecene, stakes winner Inkerman, Jet Ski Lady, the tough runner Lemhi Gold, Mississippian, a raft of other stakes winners, and the immortal Dahlia.  IMO Dahlia was one of the greatest turf mares to ever have raced in America.

I got to see *Vaguely Noble as a stallion at Gainesway farm, and he was a beautiful horse with a lot of character.  He had the real "look of eagles" in his eye and I'm glad I got to see this wonderful horse.

Answer 16

with osprey got to be arkle

Answer 17

I've always liked Silver Charm. I know he's an American horse, but he's always been number 1 in my books. I also like The Tin Man.

Answer 18

SADDLERS WELLS.. not only for his racecourse exploits, but equally as much for his exploits as a stud. You can pretty much guarantee that his offspring will be good at a mile and a half with a bit of cut in the ground.

Answer 19

Answer 20

Shergar:-)
