[Veer Right]

Is LG the best WFA international bought to Australia?

Like... ever? Or for this race.

Like... ever? Or for this race.

ever... can't think of another one. I know there's been higher rated horses like Benbatl but that horse wouldn't get within cooee of this horse over there.

Is 119 rated at her best. So no, not by that metric and most others. 123 for her mares allowance puts her around Benbatl 125, Ten Sovereigns 122 for horses to journey over this year.


Unless I’m missing an obvious one it’s hard to remember a clear champ. Yeats was a superior stayer

Would be up there Top 3 if not the best

Other than WFA internationals would just about have Yeats as #1 as far as credentialed goes

Grandera?

Let’s not get carried away. LG is a passable G1 horse on the world stage but has been rolled in HK. It’s not like she is some global superstar. Half the reason she is the price she is is because the locals are utter garbage.

Same with Benbatl. Not even a G1 horse in Europe and a laughable suggestion as the best to ever come here

He was only 122, No one really rates 3 milers or sprinters

Highland Reel > The Champ > Grandera > Benbatl

Although most of HR's success came after he came here

Might be before your time but Double Trigger was highly rated when he came out in 95

They all did.

Actually flicking through LG's 123 prior coming here is mighty respectable.

Grandera 126 was after, as was Benbatl 125. (rated 123 in his CP)

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Again a stayer but Vinnie Roe is highly credentialed one too

 

[iluvparis]

Benbatl not even in the question. As I said. Not up to G1s in Europe and had to get shipped to Germany to get one.

What's Benbatl done since? And Grandera came here after winning the Prince of Wales

Sooo if LG was racing in last years Cox Plate AND brings her form with her, does she roll Winx?

Looking for your opinion

Haha. No.

I was only 8 years old had a slight interest from age of 5 parents had shares in one that went around in the 1992 Melbourne Cup (did nothing on the bog track that day though)

Shows where Australia is on the pecking list when we're talking about Lys Graceiux and Benbatl. Be funny if you narrowed it down to Sydney internationals - Gordon Lord Byron vs Hana's Gold

I do love Benbatl though.

My bad wrong CP i was thinking of. Grandera definitely takes the cake.

Also Benbatl everyone loved his G2 win was just pointing out his OHR. Benbatl came over at 121 i think? 125 for his 2LST

Apology accepted

 

[FallingLiefs]

While we are on the International ratings just putting it out there that Treve is still better than Enable in their eyes and Winx is better than both and way more consistent.

Those who overreacted the day of can post their apologies to my PO Box.

Does Almond Eye roll Winx at its peak 2018 form ?

 

[iluvparis]

Does Almond Eye roll Winx at its peak 2018 form ?

Only over 2400

Tough one AE was dominant at 3 but we are yet to learn what she can do at 4. I'm going to say no but i'm not going to defend that stance strongly.
