I loved this horse, the way he raced it was always exciting and produced some of the greatest finishes ever
The greatest Cox Plate ever
2nd best cox plate id put 02 1st
Yes and no, you are right that field was packed with many group 1 winners, all great stars in their day but the race of the century was Bonecrusher vs Our Waverley Star. Not to take anything away from Super Impose as it was well deserved by a great horse but Childs blew it on Let's Elope, he panicked and when 3/4 wide too early!!!
Superstars 1 & 2
