Kinda biased because we own him but Kyema Kid!
I remember the Interdominion 2000 where he beat Courage Under Fire. I was only 9 but damn it was good.

The old codger is in our back paddock, too bad his knees went on him.

Smile Favourite horse

My favourite horse would have to be sparkling melody she isnt very popular but was pretty successful, she would probably be my favourit because she was my grandfathers horse but she had heart and loved to race but was injured during most of racing career and had to retire due to smashing a bone in her leg but is now a mother of a 1yr old and a foal born a few weeks agao

Both my greyhound interest and my 'trots' interest go back almost 50 years. There have been so many great pacers over that time, horses that had, to use a word mentioned above by one of the other members, aura. They captured the imagination of the public. There were 3 wondeful pacers in the early 1960s: Caduceus, James Scott and Cardigan Bay. They came along in that order with some overlap between the latter two. Both James Scott and Cardigan Bay went to the USA (not sure about Caduceus) to represent Australia and NZ, respectively, against the best in the world and importantly they were victorious. Not the greatest pacer I have ever seen but relative to his time, the fastest, is Mount Eden. His Miracle Mile win after doing an awful lot wrong was incredible. My understanding is that Johnny Tapp also rates this as the greatest Miracle Mile win ever.

Awesome training performance from Peter Tonkin. The way he has been able to get this horse back time after time from numerous setbacks has been amazing. He (Robin Hood) would be a deserving winner alongside the Victoria Cup he has also won.

Noopy Kiosk !! I use to go to Moonee Valley Harness every Saturday without fail as a youngster as my mum and her sister met there every week as it was central to their addresses. (It's what first got me into the Racing game) I use to love watching Noopy come off 50m+ circle the field with 2 laps to go, go about 20m in front and just keep going. By far my favorite to watch... I loved Noopy...

I've always wanted a huge Print/Picture of him to have on my wall but I wouldn't know where to look or who to contact.
