I'm a huge Sprinter Sacre fan and never thought another horse would come close to Moscow Flyer so soon, let alone suggest that he is better...the great thing about MF, though, is that he always did what he needed to do to win bar that time at Aintree when he pissed in. In that regard, he was never going to please the ratings people...

What I will say, though, and someone alluded to it above - when Masterminded won his Queen Mother by a street, he was given a crazy figure...

But when we look for a measure of Sprinter Sacre now, we look to Moscow Flyer and that says enough about Moscow for me - it's because he was able to do it consistently over a period of time, which to me is more of a measure of greatness than a stunning one-off display,

Sprinter looks to be an absolute freak, and he'll win the Queen Mother without breaking sweat fitness permitting, but he'll need another two seasons of this before he touches Moscow in my book...

[QUOTE="Bobbyjo, post: 2415288, member: 65167"] I'm a huge Sprinter Sacre fan and never thought another horse would come close to Moscow Flyer so soon, let alone suggest that he is better...the great thing about MF, though, is that he always did what he needed to do to win bar that time at Aintree when he pissed in.

But when we look for a measure of Sprinter Sacre now, we look to Moscow Flyer and that says enough about Moscow for me - it's because he was able to do it consistently over a period of time, which to me is more of a measure of greatness than a stunning one-off display, Sprinter looks to be an absolute freak, and he'll win the Queen Mother without breaking sweat fitness permitting, but he'll need another two seasons of this before he touches Moscow in my book...
