There would probably be more message board posters than actual horses who raced during Kincsem's time.

I have no idea how good horses like Camaero or Kincsem were. There are always freaks who can greatly outrun very weak pedigrees - and certainly a good horse can come from anywhere.

People are always going to like undefeated horses with big win streaks. To quote a great old time racing writer ...



Certainly horses like Camaero and Kincsem never came even remotely close to passing that test.

I can't wait for when Pedigee Ann chimes in with her history lesson on South American horses of yester year.

Freddy - you've already jinxed Boys at Tosconova to affliction ... now they're posting videos of Uncle Mo working out on youtube. Whatever was ailing him - and he's certainly got a lot of fragility in his pedigree - it seems like you've jinxed him back to relative soundness.
