Totally agree, also had a Golden Slipper, Caulfield Guineas, 3 individual Caul Cup winners. Collectively more Grp1 wins to race together in racing history. And the fav who fell, went on to run second in the Japan Cup a month later. The old warrior was the last man standing.

1992 cox plate must be the strongest field ever, featuring melbourne cup winner wnd runner up, multiple doncaster and epsom winner, cox plate winner, caulfield cup, stradbroke, japan cup and super got up as an eight year old.

I did spy a brief vid on Super Impose thats been posted recently. I have some old vcr footage, but its way too hard to convert it.

My first ever trifecta had Rough Habit for first... he won but the others let me down.

Hmmm. It's funny how some let Lonhro off the hook for his 2002 loss because of Beadman's ride yet crucify him for his 2003 loss when he was just as far off the pace. Fact is that in 2003 nothing went right. Beadman has always been a tactical rider and stayed with Defier and the well backed Clangalang. FOO was an outsider and was overlooked. Still looked the winner coming into the turn. Couldn't pass Defier, looked more like Fine Cotton.

Dulcify for the reasons you pointed out. He had to go around the field at pace then just kept going. Take out the runner up and how far does he win by?

As much as Id rather not believe it :) I doubt that she would have won by 7 lengths in her 2nd had Lohnro been there and ridden like that Caulf Stks. Think we would have seen '86 all over again, just as we saw in their only epic.

Rough Habit was the odd one out, he won at both tracks and came from some impossible positions too, over varied distances.

Thats a toughy that one. Id lean toward Dulcify only because he was on a stayers prep and he made a continuous run from about 800-900 out. So the fact that he could sustain such a high speed for so long was amazing and he was more known for his brilliant exceleration. But having said that, they were very similar runs from the 600 onward, hard to split. Good qst! And you?

Totally agree with that one, he was ridden perfectly in Caulf Stk to gun her down. Northerly did it in both those Cox Plate defeats too.

There's no way in hell that they'd ever throw strathayr down at Flemington. BTW, which Cox Plate do you rate higher, Dulcify's or Sunline's?
