🇦🇺 "Black Caviar is the best horse ever to travel outside of its own country by an absolute country mile.” @ms_peterpan chats to Nick Smith about Royal @Ascot. tdnausnz.com.au/edition/2023-0…
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Absolute coup getting her here. Best sprinter ever to leave her own shores. But the best horse to do a serious trip away from home is the GOAT- Phar Lap. Hands down. Not up for debate.
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot other than, perhaps, you know ... PHAR LAP !
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Hmmm …..Secretariat might disagree 😉
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Country Mile.......Dancing Brave, Arkle, Secretariat?
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Forgot Takeover Target, Choisir and, of course, Phar Lap. Add Black Caviar to that list. Of course, we could also add all the Kiwis (New Zealanders) who "take" our races. Also across Bass Strait from Tasmania to the mainland.
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Contrarian opinion... Phar Lapp....
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Didn't Phar Lap travel by boat??? Most if not all from a certain time would have flown, unless a shirt ferry hop from Ireland to UK or uk to France.....
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Best horse australia has ever produced
@garykingTDN @ms_peterpan @Ascot Think that's a hugely disrespectful statement. Among the best? For sure. Comparing the many horses to have travelled to different countries over different distances and come on top in various eras, it is impossible to declare one to be so much better than another.
