I would certainly agree that Arkle was a great,but all the other horses would have been beaten by Arkle in the Cheltenham Gold Cup or in any race where he would not have to give huge amounts of weight away to them.Quite simply Arkle was the best steeplechaser ever to grace the turf.
The Best Horse ? well,we could argue for ever ! Every horse and jockey that jumps a fence or hurdle, every horse that runs on the flat, they are ALL great horses - that is why one loves horse racing - the excitement and the potential to turn ten pounds into twenty...there is no bigger thrill
I'm from the age that remembers Bula, Pendil, Comedy of Errors, Night Nurse, Monksfield, Sea Pigeon, L'Escargot, Red Rum - all terrific Horses. One that always seems to be forgotten, and I don't know why, is the great See You Then.
The american named flat horses only as thats all have in america, name me one horse where there where 2 handicaps one if arkle did run and one if he didnt- best horse ever and way before my time. best post modern horses viking flagship ISTABRAQ, moscow flyer and best mate, obviously have horses like dawn run only mare to have won champion hurdle and gold cup
ok ummmm correct me if im wrong but this isnt racing ... this is steeple chasing ... racing doesnt make the horse jump over anything just run in a circle cuz no tribute about horse racing wouldn't have included ruffian, barbaro, Man O' War, seattle slew, sunday silence, affirmed, phar lap, dr. fager, forego, and so on
yea but in jumping only one horse is out at a time in real racing many horses are out at a time trying to get in front of the other let see if one of your damn irish horses run a mile in 1 minite and 32 seconds , 1 and 1/4 miles in 1 min and 57 sec , and 1 and 1/2 miles in 2 mins and 24 sec ,and if you think no one cares why did 2000 people show up to a horses funeral while many listened in on the radio
And Irish horses? Coolmore own a load of the top turf sires in the world fuck wit. "Coolmore Stud, established in 1975, is the world's largest breeding operation of thoroughbred racehorses and indisputably the best stud in the world, based in Fethard, County Tipperary in the Republic of Ireland". Thats direct from Wikipedia.
Like i said stuff your American shit because no one cares, we have the best of both worlds. Insular bastard yank.
it would help if you actually speaked english instead of wat ever u r saying "fuck wit" here in america we call it fucker ..
and i dont recall ANY of the triple crown winners being irish horses and wat the fuck does "twats" mean cuz thats a good comeback esspecially if the person dosnt understand wat ur saying (sarcasm)
y dont u just go and drink 10 gallons of beer, go log rolling, and throw stones and call those sports and leave the sport of horse racing to AMERICANS!!!!
If i actually SPEAKED English. Ha ha. You don't even know where England is, never mind being able to speak the language! English (the hint is in the word) is spoken in England so whatever different meaning you take is WRONG. And sarcasm! I'll be kind, you need to work at it.
As for Racing, the St Leger was first run in England before your country even existed so your're up shit creek really.
we may have started the sport of horse racing later but our horses are the ones that are more rememberd for their great achivements have any of your horses won a race by 100 leangths or have one of your horses won a race by seven leangths with a tumor in his mouth that was found after the race took place i dont think so
Lets get this straight your bragging about fuckin horses? A patriotic horse what next? Get a grip of yourself for fuck sake.
I've never heard of any of your so called great horses and you should be aware that most of the great prestigous races take place in Britain and Ireland. Its like your baseball WORLD series. WORLD when the US is the only country that plays the sport! Face it, the rest of sane world doesn't give a fuck.
well iv never heard of any of your horses and why did you bring up fucking base ball no one cares about it and you think you are sane and one thing in the u.s. we speak english in austrailia they speak english england isnt the olny place that speaks english they just have different accents and your such a racist pig just cause im american you think that your better than me in my frist comment i was just asking a fuking question and you bring up the fact that im american your such a dick
This is like arguing with a 10 year old! I DO know better than you thats the point.
Your first comment was a judgement based on ignorance thats why i have a problem with you. You said this is not racing. Well i'm afraid every single person in my country and in Britain knows better. Either show some respect or keep your observations to yourself son. Your choice.
NOO i said "correct me if im wrong" because usually when horses jump when they race its called steeple chasing and i know more than you when it comes to american racing and breeding and everything else and yet you state that your country has the best of everthing
Ok then i'm the person correcting you then. Its 'National Hunt racing' not steeple chasing, GET IT RIGHT. Yes it is horse racing. And yes for a population of only 4 million people (to use a boxing term) pound for pound Ireland is easily the best Horse Racing country in BOTH disciplines. You can't dispute any of that. If you do you truly are an idiot. Trust me.
Like i said i'm the one correcting you. Pay attention and MAYBE you might learn something.
ok im not gonna argue with you, let just agree that we both hav our different point of veiws but i want you to look up "Man O' War" or "secretariat" cuz i want u to c one of the american champions so u can see y people love american racing :) i looked up racing from another country it wont kill you to do the same
What do you disagree with exactly? That Ireland has a population of roughly 1.3% of the US'. Yet Coolmore is the biggest bloodstock company in the World FACT, nearly every single top jockey in the British Isles is Irish FACT, Ireland produced the greatest NH hunt horse ever (Arkle) FACT, Point-to-Point racing originated there FACT, has great flat horses and trainers (too long to list) FACT.
American Racing is for Americans! Over here no one cares. Nothing wrong with that as i'm sure Irish Horse Racing isn't exactly a hot topic of conversation in America either. At the end of the day Horses are Horses. They aren't exactly patriotic. Coolmore have built their success on the bloodline of a Canadian Horse (Northern Dancer). So American, Irish, English, they're still just horses.
well i think american horses are acctually popular secretariat was on the cover of time magizine and his nickname was "super horse" ... can you tell me some of the acheivements of some of your horses so i would know a little more ..
If you're interested just search Wikipedia. Shergar, Nijinsky II (only trained in Ireland), Sinndar, Rock of Gibraltar (7 straight Group 1 races).
Personally i much prefer National Hunt Racing. Istabraq, Best Mate, Red Rum, Dawn Run, Desert Orchid and Arkle (Amazing horse, read about him) were great horses. Moscow Flyer was my favourite though. For 4 years he was never beaten while staying on his feet, in a vintage era for 2 mile chasers too.
i think Man 'O War, Secretariat, Lost in the Fog, Barbaro, John Henry were all great examples of American race horses. not sayig that the European ones are not just that its not fair to say that American horses aren't as good as European horses.
Belmont king is a forgotten legend!!! won the scottish grand national!!should have won the grandnational in 1995, but didnt have his pal and fretted!!cant find any info on him!!but now he has passed away at age of 19..plz dont forget him!!he is a legend, which had a lot of talent!!!
Good video...agree with most, but not Beef or Salmon - he was nowhere near a great. Certainly not an extensive list, but dont think many can argue with Red Rum, Dessie, Arkle, Best Mate or Istabraq
best mate? are u mad? he was a plough horse compared to to arkle. red rum? great national horse - not good enough to finish in top half of a decent gold cup -
i think the best racehorse is Miss Fit..but she just my baby that got claimed..she was just a high class claimer..is ther even really such a thing? lol anyway i guess she really isnt the best..but she was 2 me
personally i think best mate was the best horse, but everyone has there opinions.
im glad you mentioned beef or salmon, he may not have won a gold cup but he's still won (i believe, but please correct me if im wrong) 10 grades ones.
no mention of kauto star ?? my faviroute race horse.
Desert orchid has a gr8 jump :) and a hige version of my old pony Fizz (11.2hh)
