As good as Annie Power was she was a mare who was in the right place at the right time.
She was the queen of the mares at the time and had never raced against the best of the boys at the minimum trip
The New One had won a deseperate CH Trial at Haydock and looked like he would go off favourite for the Champion Hurdle
It ended up a desperate affair, possible the worst since Sublimity with My Tent Or Your taking 2nd place having been off the track for 2 years.
She then reverted back to 2m4f at Aintree won and retired.
Comparing her ratings or achievment with Honeysuckles is complete nonsense.
How you end up witha rating depends what you beat at the time and they can be misleading
Does anyone actually believe that Master Minded was a better horse than Kauto Star and Denman when he beat the overrated VPU?
Common sense should tell you instantly that Honeysuckle was different gravy to Annie Power who won one of the worst Champion Hurdles in history.
Annie Power one the grand total of ONE Grade 1 over 2 miles Honeysuckle has won 12 Grade 1 hurdles over 2 miles.
