Hamden: "3 best horses in the world"

...he was quoted as saying talking about Discreet Cat, Henny Hughes, and Bernardini.....I don't know about Henny Hughes but I wouldn't argue about the other two....

Thats quite a statement. Do you think he was just talking about the dirt? I am anxious to see what David Junior does over here.

No... think he was talking out-right talent.....Obviosuly, it is hard to compare dirt and turf horses...you can only go by the percieved talent dynamic because they'll never face comparble competition in comparable scenarios....

Yeah ... like my own opinion is really going to be influenced by Hamdan.

Sheeeeesh !!!

Hurricane Run, Deep Impact, and...., maybe Gorella. Most of the world doesn't run on dirt, so how can dirt horses be the best in the world?

I agree a little with hurricane run, but comon....I think it is clear that bernardini and maybe Discreet Cat are just different kinds of animals...I mean NOBODY has even challenged these horses yet in their last 9 races!!!

..these two are pretty freakin talented...you can't compare turf and irt horses for obvious reasons, but yiou can compare talent i believe - and Bernardini and Discreet cat are more talented than anything else in training in my opinion....not even sure f it is even a question in my mind...

Most of the world plays soccer.- Our best athletes don't play soccer.

I don't think it is fair to compare sprinters , turfers etc.. it's all completely different. I like it when people get all excited about a 1st timer AP Indy sired horse running MSW at 6f. ( or some otehr regally bred route horse ) More money for the guy who finds the best bred 1st timer for 6f not 1 1/8+

I say we decide who the best horses are by money.
Top money winners are the best.

For me, I really don't care who the best horse is. People were proclaiming that Bernardini is better than Secretariat yesterday. ???

ok, and that means what exactly?
