Your Most Favourite Ever Race Horse?????

[shane1970]

Doesn't have to be one of the many champions you have seen over the years just a horse that either was a champion for his racing ability or one that generously lined your pockets often enough.
.
I've been a punter for about 25 years now and although not considered a champion my favourite horse unquestionably is COLE DIESEL.
.
I won a sh*t load on this fella back in the late 80's - I still remember sh*tting myself during the 1989 Caulfield Cup - He's also the subject of my 'largest' ever bet = $500EW on this occasion and he ideally saluted for me and lined my pockets beautifully.
.
I even managed to give him a pat him a few years back as he was/is a clerk of the course at the Gold Coast track now.

i owe Ethereal fromt he melbourne cup in 01...... as i was only 13 that year.... i got my dad to put the $140 i had saved through the year on number 13..... for some reason he actually listened to me... and did it.... cant remember what i won back then but it was a big win for my age

Best horse i have ever seen, The King Kingston Town. My favourite horse would probably be Efficient, I picked him out as a young 3 year old and i followed even into the cup after everyone else had dropped off him culminating in me winning around 3 grand last year.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Reckless.

Won the Adelaide and Sydney cups then in the 1977 Melbourne Cup, old Tommy Woodcock's horse just failed to beat Gold and Black, I was in tears..

 

[hineyrulz]

Didn't he also win the Brisbane cup that year as well?????

Couple of Horses that I liked despite the 2nd one costing me a bit in the Cox Plate, Doriemus unquestionably my favourite, and Starcraft was the other

Responsible parenting from Dad! Getting started early.

I had to get my grandfather to do it for me. I remember my childhood sitting in the TAB at Condell Park with him every Saturday.

TORBECK won what is now the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes(was the Malbro Cup)in 1980.

 

[rabs]

Loved seeing Super Impose fly home to salute the judge in those Randwick miles, The King also what a horse won over every distance and got me a nice payout when 2nd in the Melbourne cup paying 2.40 the place. Can't not mention Makybe I was on her big in all 3 cup wins and surely her record will stand forever.

Without even viewing the above race i'd bet it's the Bonecrusher - Our Waverly Star race is it not?????? Sure was a cracker of a race and would have to be my favourite race of all time as well - other than the New Zealand trot race I had a bet on about 20 years ago - I backed a thing at 200/1 and on the final lap about 10 of the horses fell leaving mine and two others and guess who's went on to win!!!!!!

Different commentary but I know the call you mean."Bonecrusher races into equine immortality".

It was good but I like the Kingston Town cant win one better.

 

[Ram Man]

Without doubt my Favourite was Lonhro...cost me a bit in his last Cox plate appearance and was usually pretty short, but I just loved when the Black Flash put his foot down...amazing turn of foot!

I heard in an interview Collins said on his gravestone there would be written "Kingston Town can't win" on it :lol: That win gives me goosebumps every time i see it. Best horse i have ever seen.

 

[big pat]

the mighty kingston town, a favourite of mine because i backed it a lot was rough habit.
