What was your favourite horse to grace the tracks of S.A.

Arctic Cove is another good horse

The best horse i watched was Gatecrasher.He had 4 white socks a wall eye and could catch eagles.He won the Concord stakes over 1000 metres and the Met but liked a left hand track.He would always hang out on a right hand track and thats what cost him the July Handicap.

Horse Chestnut followed by Sentinel

For me ................In Full Flight

Rob and Eastexpo......Totally agree..I was lucky enough to witness all IFF wins in Natal.Was also at the Met when he ran 3rd ( his last race ??)...

CM,in the Bull Brand he had Sentinel and Elevation over 5 lengths behind him,at level weights,and to put that into perspective, Elevation later beat Sledgehammer in the champion stakes at Turf.,so how good was he really?
(he bled so badly in that Met where he got beat by Gold Flame that he died within 2 days)

Seacottage...by a mile

Mill Hill was a favourite of mine ... a very game frontrunning filly. I also loved watching Model Man. Beau Art with his four brilliant white socks was one I always followed.
