Certainly on this Belmont Stakes performance he would have beaten any horse. But too many defeats on his record to be considered the Greatest of all time. Surely Ribot or Man o' War had more consistency?
Surely Lester got the horse into a winning position if the horse had been good enough on the day. Still Nijinsky is probably my favourite racehorse ever & even if i look at it objectively i think that at his best would beat Mill Reef, Shergar, Dancing Brave, Brigadier Gerard and Sea the Stars ov...
I was 11 & havnt seen it from then till now. What a joy to watch it! Expected Bedford to run away from these guys & maybe break the world record. Worried when Bedford couldn't get away from them, but did not expect a finish like that . . My God did not expect a finish like that!!
@R1S9S9R1 Yes incredible!!
