Agreed, they are different, the one thing that stood out to me about Alinghi was her tremendous turn of foot. Poetry in motion.

1998-2002.

48 starts
32 wins (13 G1)
9 seconds
3 thirds

The greatest horse I've ever seen - by a long, long way.

I just started following Australian racing in 03 when Makybe Diva won her 1st Melbourne Cup, unfortunately I just missed Sunline. Respect your opinion but better than Lonhro?

CSC... was wondering if you had a chance to watch the More Joyous race last night (?)...

I almost had a heart attack. Honestly didn't think she would get up there in time and suddenly... whoooosh!

Late on this, I missed this race SC. One thing I did notice of late some of Gai's horses have not been running blinders. Maybe Idol, Nochance and or Ed can comment on this, but she has had medication problems in her past...The horses she ran on the Melbourne Cup card were lacklustre in performance and looked less than Waterhouse like.
