Ribot is amazing such a pity that tesio never got to see what he had worked his whole life for to breed a superhorse not just a horse that won all the big races but a horse that destroyed his opposition with ease. he said ribot was a very intelligent horse he knew when he had to prove himself and when he could take it easy he would play up at italian racecourses but tesio said he changed when he went to longchamp and ascot he was very focused and relaxed. 1 of the best horses ever no question.

RIBOT the strongest horses of all time!!!

@TheDarleyarabian Here in Italy there are three/four books (one in particoular "Ribot, cavallo del secolo" by Renzo Castelli) were there are a lots of Ribot (very good quality)

If you want many informations, send me a private message, and I will explan you better ^^

Then, I can link you some images I founded (good pictures)

And you can ask everything about him, his owner (Federico Tesio) and his friend too (Magistris), and his parents (Romanella and Tenerani [from Tofanella])

I'll wait °-^

whoever would win between the greats would be to do with the fact horses are flesh and blood the same horse probably wouldnt win every race run at different courses its nothing to do with man made contaptions

@littlebay75 Not pointless, that's what stopwatches are for.

[littlebay75]

very impressive horse but its pointless comparing different generations so just enjoy the memories of all the great horses over the years :}

No wonder Willie carson on Sat compared the horses Ribot and Montjeu to Harbinger. My favourite jockey ever.

Ribot was probably the best ever over 12F.
