Over their preferred distances?
i.e the 3 best 1m, 3 best 1m2f and 3 best 1m4f horses.
I ask because I’ve heard a few horses over the last year accused of not being group 1, but I can’t think of any better. So I would be interested to see what people say.
Cheers guys, should be interesting.

Any country, surface, whatever you think would be the top 3 overall.
Goldikova, Canford Cliffs, Makfi.
Cape Blanco, Lope De Vega, Rip Van Winkle (lack of choice)
Behkabad, no idea, no idea (lack of choice)
1m Makfi, Canford Cliffs, Goldikova
1m 2f Cape Blanco, Byword, Twice Over
1m 4f Planteur, Behkabad …… Rewilding
5f Equiano
6f Starspangledbanner, Markab
1m Goldicova, Canford Cliffs, Makfi
1m2f Cape Blanco, Rip Van Winkle
1m4f Fame And Glory, Workforce, Rewilding
1m6f+ Rite Of PassageStrange, before doing that I thought AOB had a poor year.
Value Is EverythingSprints – Majesticperfection, Starspangledbanner, Green Birdie/Rocket Man
Mile – Makfi, Goldikova, Rachel Alexandra/Canford Cliffs
10f – Zenyatta, Cape Blanco, Quality Road
12f – Fame And Glory, Behkabad, Workforce (?)
Stayers – Rite of Passage, Jaguar Mail,
There seems to be an awful lot of good horses in the mile division at the moment
1) Goldikova 2) Canford Cliffs 3) Makfi in my opinionNot too sure in the other divisions due to imo a lack of quality overall. I would include Cape Blanco, Fame and Glory, and Workforce (yes I havent given up on him)
5/6f: Starspangledbanner, Equiano, Fleeting Spirit
1m: Makfi, Canford Cliffs, Goldikova
1m2f: Cape Blanco, Rip Van Winkle, Midday
1m4f: Fame And Glory, Sariska, Behkabad
1m6f+: Rite Of Passage, Profound Beauty, Rewilding
you should only include mile and a half horses in this list. If Canford Cliffs stayed he wouldn’t be running as a miler. 12 furlongs is the real classic distance.
1m Canford Cliffs, Goldikova, Makfi
10f Zenyatta, Cape Blanco, Rip Van Winkle.
12f Workforce (
), Fame and Glory, Rewilding.Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
FLAT
Sprinter OVERDOSE
8/10f ZENYATTA
12/14f PROFOUND BEAUTY
16f+ RITE OF PASSAGE
2-Y-0 DUBOYNE EXPRESS
3-Y-O CAPE BLANCONH
Hurdler 16f BARIZAN
Hurdlers 20f+ Mares FOR BILL, QUEVEGA
Hurdlers 20f+ Geldings BIG BUCKS, PEDDLERS CROSS
Chasers 16f BIG ZEB
Chasers 22f+ AN SIORRAC, SIZING EUROPE
Bumpers TUS NUA, THE REAL ARTICLE
Hunters BRADLEY, QUOTICA DES POYANSThe NH horses represent the main body of my NH Horses To Follow 2010/2011
Everyne is entitled to their opinion, and i always respect a bit of left-field thinking – but although i know you are a big fan of the horse, you can’t seriously think Profound Beauty is the best mile and a half horse in the World?
Mine are European only, i have little knowledge of US or other foreign racing.
NOT in order –
Sprinters – Equiano, Starspangledbanner, Sole Power (must be respected, will go off overpriced next time a-la Les Arcs a few years ago).
Milers – Makfi, Goldikova, Canford Cliffs.Gets tricky now –
10f – Cape Blanco, Rip Van Winkle, Tartan Bearer.
12f – Tartan Bearer, Cape Blanco, Byword (guesswork admittedly).
Stayers – thought this years older stayers were poor so i’ll see how the 3yo’s get on.I’m basing my opinion on this year’s formlines through Age Of Aquarius linking Harbinger and Profound Beauty.
She is probably going dependant and 12 furlngs is the very least she needs to be fully effective but I’d advise any sceptics to compare the way a fit Harbinger beat a first time out AOA at Chester and then the way the first time out Profound Beauty beat the fitter AOA at Leopardstown ….watch replays of both races….then factor in the subsequent Ascot runs of Harbinger an Age Of Aquarius
BTW She’s the wife’s favourite racehorse, not necessarily mine infact if the going gets much softer I’m not convinced she’ll beat Rite Of Passage on Saturday

I would probably have said the top 3 on Offcial Ratings in each division, you couldn’t argue with that.

If it was that easy we’d all be driving Aston Martins and Barry Dennis, Paddy Power et al would be signing on the dole

I thought the question was who are the best 3 horses in training?
Can someone confirm this is the question, not sure where i’ve gone wrong?
