Piggot says Frankel is not the best

He says Seabird, then Ribot and only then Frankel.

He says today's jockeys are better, but then so they should be.

It might be old news? But worth a read www.bbc.com/sport/0/horse-racing/34179418

The british riders over rate themselves, Muis Roberts went there and rode them to sleep
The british over rate there horses, Horse Chestnut would have beaten Frankel whilst still on the bridle
In a match race Superman would embarrass a vastly overrated Ryan Moore with his superior riding ability :whistle:

Back to topic I thought lester best were Sir Ivor and Nijinski
His win in the states on Royal Academy? Was incredible think it was the Washington international when he came back from retirement
His win on Sir Ivor derby and also in states were magic

Let's answer the three calls that you have made (obviously all that tequila that you consumed over the weekend has gone to your brain)

First, yes Roberts won the title and yes far too good

Not sure about Horse Chestnut, he would have to have been extra special to have been a better horse than Frankel. Thank goodness we had both these horses in our time to admire

Finally, you are definitely still deluded as ever re your superman. Yesterday he had 4 arm chair rides and won on 2. He should be better cause he is about 20 years older. In 20 years time Moore would have won at least another 300 classic races, on 5 continents. Still both have huge balls in my book to be able to ride a race horse at full speed and to keep going year after year and both of them to come back after bad injuries caused by racing. So kudos to both and all jockeys. Oh almost forgot, Chelsea lost again last night. Stay well clear of the tequila as you need to be focussed for Friday when Argentina outplay Meyers tactics :lol: :lol:

Never easy to compare racehorses on different continents and generations. So ,even if Piggot is a decent judge...his opinion is as invalid as anyone elses :) . All those horse mentioned are serious contenders for the greatest , but they are not the only ones by any means.
