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...

Yeah ... like my own opinion is really going to be influenced by Pedigree Copier-&-Paster Ann.

Sheeeeesh !!!

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?

I like Bernardini, Discreet Cat, Hurricane Run, and Deep Impact.

When the Sheikh said that after the race you could hear Randy Moss on ESPN- who must not have known that his mic was on saying, "Three best horses in the world" in a questioning sort of way like he disagreed. I agree with him. Bernardini's clearly up there but needs to beat the rest of the best horses to totally prove it, Henny Hughes just plain isn't, and no matter how impressive Discreet Cat was on Friday, it was still an allowance optional claiming race- no matter how much he beat the field by and how fast his time was. I'm not saying that he's definitely not a top horse, but let's see him in a Grade 1.

Butterface, Arromanches and Chilly Rooster.

Its not Bernardini's fault he has to run against scrubs. Hes the real deal, reminds me so much of Ghostzapper and its a joy to see this horse run more than a couple times a year and we get to watch him in his 3 year old season, unlike Ghostzapper who really only became great at 4.

Henny Hughes, the jury is still very much out on. Very good horse, but not great yet!

Ya me too. Horse racing dearly needs horses like that again. I feel sorry for anyone who did not witness this horse's greatness.

Jessica, thats the best 4 horses in the world there IMO..

who is this "hamden?"

Are you talking about Hamdan?

Won 9 or 10 straight ... didn't he?

Lionel Hamdan.

I like Hurricane Run, Discreet Cat, and Bernardini.

I'll take Deep Impact, Discreet Cat and Invasor.
