Weekend Hussler is anything but overrated... up to a mile. Anything further than that and he's just another good horse. Up to a mile, he's a freak!

Harsh, very harsh:crazy::crazy:

You remind me of a mate of mine who has a set against every good horse who we end up claiming as 'peoples champions' - Lohnro, Octagonal, Makybe Diva, etc, etc.

Tie the Knot, people called him a champion. He was just a very good horse expertly placed.

Just wondering how Tie The Knot was Expertly placed.
Thought he ran in just about everything.
Cant remember him being scratched too often either.

Pretty sure he ended up with more than 10 group 1's.
Thats more than some pretty handy horses.(theres only a handful that have won more).
May not have been a champion but gee I could find a place for him in my stable.

Found it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_the_Knot
13 group 1's. 2nd best ever.

Lonhro wasn't overrated. He just couldn't win at Moonee Valley when he was set for 2-3 Cox Plates.

His win in the Australian Cup when he got slaughtered with about 200m to go was freakish.

Sydney horses coming to Melbourne are overrated...do many of them come here and win?

From memory second only to the King, who would have carried a cart around and still flogged him. Some of those Group 1's he won in Sydney were glorified welters. How did he go in Melbourne??? I think he managed to win the Underwood in how many tries. As i said very good horse but no champion.

The King didn't handle the Melbourne way of going but he still won 3 Cox Plates,2 Caulfield Stakes and was slaughtered in a Melbourne Cup :crazy: How good was he????

Your point is ??????????? I was questioning the legitimacy of the two horses mentioned as 'overated' and was waiting for the next 'champ' to be listed and was being 'sarcastic' as to the champion Phar Lap - I know it's a far cry from comparison just like joey to Hiney I suppose - One's a champion and the others a nuffy

I'd love to see the Hussler have a couple of runs in Melbourne next Autumn before heading to Dubai and then England to beat the world.

Ross McDonald had to find out whether it could stay and if it could it would be a super horse. It seems the furthest it will run now is the 1777m of the Dubai Duty Free race which Elvstrom won.

Isn't this the betting forum????? What the f**k has to footy players got to do with anything????? I never said the Hussler is overated, i think he is a champion up to 1600m, and if he was freshened up for the Cox plate instead of running him in the Caulfield Cup he would have gone close.

I said Tie the Knot was overated in my opnion, honestly some of his group 1 wins in Sydney we're glorified welters, Beating Champions like Showella,Forgotton hero,brave prince, and Praise indeed........... 13 group 1's only 1 in Melbourne. And luckily for him Might and Power was injured, a horse who owned him.
