    The Tatling :)
    Was everything a racehorse should be, great career and had a great retirement.
    Wonderful example of how things should ideally go for all involved.

    Dancing Brave by a country mile, a 2,000 Guineas and Arc and much more winner with the turn of foot of a champion sprinter. Sublime.

    Flyingbolt, Cheltenham 1966 won the Champion Chase in a canter then less than 24hours later led over the last in the Champion
    Chase finished a close 3rd, 4 weeks later won the Irish Grand National carrying 12st 7lb.

    Flat - Sea the Stars/Frankel
    2 exceptional horses. Delighted for their trainers to have horses like that at the times of their career.

    NH - Kauto Star
    By an absolute mile my favourite horse. As much for the downs as the ups. How many times did everyone say he was finished and then he'd roar back with a win. His final year on the track was special to say the least. At his best he was simply breathtaking. Even on his off days he never threw in the towel. His longevity at the highest level will never be matched in my opinion.

    Honourable mention to clan royal who was my first ever bet when 2nd in the National and who I solely blame for all the money I've lost since!

    Jezki - Can't remember ever being anything other than impressed with it's runs.

    Istabraq over the jumps. I did have a soft spot for Tied Cottage back in the day and some of those who were 'nearly' great. Merry Gale was a horse I loved to watch jump a fence. Doran's Pride another.

    A lot of horses I remember fondly tend to be ones who could have been great(er) like Golden Cygnet, Nick Dundee, Montelado and from the flat Golden Fleece.

    Others that were never the biggest stars but who were memorable to me include Strong Platinum, Limestone Lad, Bright Highway and many others going back far too long.
