Absolute legend, glab I am around to witness this day.
Tommy Smith said:Greatest horse of our time, but not as good as Phar Lap. Big Red won 37 of his last 41 races, including North Americas biggest race which was on dirt and in the heat of Mexico shortly after a long boat trip, now THATS a horse. Ive seen footage of the race and he toyed with Americas best on a surface he'd never raced on.
37 wins by the age of 5 until the Americans posioned him, whereas the Diva won 15 races by the age of 7.
No doubt the Diva will go down in history, but i just hate how people want to gloss over history by calling her the greatest Australasian horse of all-time.
