Great idea for a thread but I'm honestly struggling. It tends to be jockeys and trainers that come close.

I could never really take to Dawn Run, for me one of the most over-rated and over-hyped horses of all time but it was always more indifference than dislike because my opinion tends to be informed by my figures and she never put up a good one in my book.

I got into a few discussions on here about Best Mate for similar reasons although I did say I did think he was a 180+ horse. I just got a tad frustrated by the constant comparisons to Arkle because he won three Gold Cups. Galopin Des Champs looks like doing likewise but he would have Best Mate for breakfast.

Plenty of horses have nutted me for really nice returns but that's racing and I tend to move on quickly.

Plenty of horses down the years I could never catch when they won and tended to back when they didn't but I've learned to blame myself for that.

Looking forward to reading others' thoughts.
