Bonecrusher vs Our waverley star is the best head to head battle I have seen. From where they took of it was incredible that either of them could keep going, but both horses continued to find something untill the finish.
Mate, how good was 1986? Not only did we get to see the mighty Bonecrusher at his best but we also saw; NSW take the Sheffield Shield, The Two Blues win the Union, The Shark win the British Open and of course Parra take the premiership and the National Panasonic Cup - it was the stuff dreams were made of :)
Have a look at Chautauqua's career, what made it a remarkable horse as a sprinter was that it would get it's into unwinnable positions well back in the field or in tight pockets but it had blinding speed and would defy the odds.
The Group 1 2017 TJ Smith was just remarkable, if you love sport it sends a shiver up your spine...250m out it's last in behind a wall of runners at least 7 lengths behind with no momentum then the joc finds a small gap and it just explodes, one of the best runs you'll ever see and a great race call.
That's some sorta finish!!! I guess you'd call that a pretty well timed run - that's how Parra will finish this year :)
I have to put this one in. I was at a picnic meeting at Rose Hill on the day - my mate turned to me and said "Jesus - talk about witnessing history!" I loved The Diva with all my heart and I have had the cherished privilege of giving her a pat on the forehead :)
Wet tracker only, over rated. Threatened to scratch her unless they watered the track. No rain and track went from good Saturday to dead/slow Tuesday. Champion....f...off...
Exactly mate. What sort of a dope equates watering a very hard track with a wet or heavy track - obviously has no idea. Only an imbecile would deny Makybe was one of the greatest stayer the world has seen - probably just didn't have the brains (and it wouldn't any) to back her.
"Blue Eel I found 5'11 hard to believe for Riley Bluey.
Wiki says 180cm which is 5'11 and then I noticed 5.9 is the percentage.......I reckon he in being 5'9 may be an exaggeration but I hope he plays 80min somewhere!"
"Ha, Wiz you should get to Macarthur Square mate; its more multicultural now than ever. I wish there were more islanders tbh.
BA's wife I think has family in the West. Not sure what will occur with him. There are a few clubs in strife and I think…"
