    Well, the question won’t be asked now. As I said, she’s a super talent, but too vulnerable.

    Yes vulnerable to being ridden badly, no question to answer, she has proven how good she is…

    Frankie gives the winner the run of the race from a bad draw and Jarnet butchers Treve, shows how fickle racing is. The mare had problems when they sacked him off her, Jarnet gets on and gets lucky, rides her badly but still good enough to win a couple of Arc’s Frankie would have won 3 on her…

    Lets not get to carried away in the comparisons with Frankel, this mare has won the best race in the world twice.Before today Treve had won double Frankel’s prizemoney with 2 less starts !!! Her record will go down as far superior to Frankel, he was a great horse and unbeaten but really tested just the once out of his comfort zone. People need to get their one eyed blinkers off and look at facts, 2 less starts double his prizemoney, Frankel won nothing like an Arc. Jarnet butchered her again today, a horrible ride covering more ground then the early settlers.Black Caviar won 25 out of 25 but there were no Arc wins there, Treve is far superior to both Frankel and Black Caviar, anyone thinking different has their blinkers on…. As for Group 1 wins Frankel may have had more and Black Caviar had 15 Group 1 wins but they ain’t the Arc…

    This is for intelligent conversation… Anyone who calls the Melbourne Cup a bumper is obviously socially impaired…Geez you would have thought Yeats would have won a bumper or quite a few other quality horses that tried but failed…

    Rite of Passage: 3rd in the Festival bumper – won a Ascot Gold Cup.

    What is wrong if you call a 2m race a bumper? There is a lot of bumping going on. So no need to correct me

    You didn’t put your foot in it there, you fell right into it… Yeats won 4 Ascot Gold Cups and couldn’t get warm in the Melbourne Cup. Yes there is a need to correct you and help you, the Melbourne Cup is no bumper, you obviously know little about racing…

    Free Eagle was going to beat Golden Horn in my opinion and it should have been upheld.

    Quotes don’t seem to be working… Hello Joni, yes Henry got quite a bit of press here after the news of his death. I think over here Bart would be more highly regarded than Bradman. He also trained 13 Australian Cup winners, 32 Derby winners, 24 Oaks, etc,etc. Bart also won the biggest sprint in Australia ‘The Newmarket’ 8 times, so he was very good with sprinters as well. In all he trained at least 265 Group 1 Winners.I think it is safe to say Bart is one of the greatest trainers of all time, so espmadrid if you haven’t heard of him I hope that learning to read thing you are undertaking works out for you…

    Sorry Jolly – he was clearly a legend in Oz and definitely worthy of a mention on here. Sounds like he was a helluva character as well as a great trainer. 87 is a good age no?

    As a matter of interest did the death of Sir Henry Cecil register much in Australia? Good to hear from you.
