A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

Seabiscuit

lyric fantasy was amazingly quick over 5 furlongs. lochsong too of course...

although the correct answer is in fact some random quarter horse from usa [;)]

Pawan

Cauda Equina LOL!

Lyric Fantasy for me too.

Habibti, but the guy who said Dayjur is probabley right.

Arazi, over 2 furlongs around a bend [;)]

Like it Coffee dodger.. Pawan, is that with ann pushing the beast

Peintre Celebre kicking away and winning the Arc springs to mind.

I was going to say Habibti, prob Dayjur tho

Dayjur for me also, i remember watching him at york when he won the Nunthorpe and coming off the stands knowing we had witnessed something special

Kabcast [;)]

the budapest bullet OVERDOSE when he won the voided abbaye
was the fastest thing you are ever likely to see.

I would have to also go with Overdose.

He took of like a bat out of hell then quickened up.

No horse in history has shown speed like him

lochsong u ask frankie

Any quarter horse

SPRINTER GODSWALK

Even though I never saw him I heard that Champion was a wonder horse.

Dancing Braves, last furlong in the Arc.

The green monkey in his breeze up

can someone help me here?

About 20 years ago there was a horse that was'nt a thooughbred but it used to turn up at tracks and run a timed 3-4 furlongs and it smashed the thoroughbred times by miles...

cant remember the name but I definately remember seeing it/

trackers according to nick mordon  you are correct

Who is nick morden ?

the guy who used to compile all the speed ratings ,he used to have his own section in the weekender, most people regarded him as the best in that sphere [;)] used to talk about dosage index ,to determine if a horse could stay e.t.c his system works 99% off the time .

Ok Ty, i dont use speed ratings myself, each to there own.

Dancing Brave clocked the last 5 furlongs of the Arc quicker than the winner of the prix De labbaye that same year.

That may mean very little tho as the veteran Carraciola clocked the last 6 furlongs of the Queen Alexandra quicker than the 6f Golden Jubilee in 2009 winner the same day either the clerk had waterd out the bias & more on the stands side overnight or henderson was keeping a sprinting stars true talent hidden you decide.

Workforce in the back of a jumbo Jet on his way to France :0)

Silly boy, Rondetto

RACOON

Dayjur without a doubt. All I saw was a blur as he came blasting down the stands side at Haydock. Awesome speed.

themightymac. over 4 and a half furlongs unbeatable , but sadly for her and lester no such races , another of her era that i loved was cawston clown flying little filly as well .

dayjur,but its a shame he did a devon loch in the states

RACOON .........anyone!?

Soba. Nothing quicker over the first furlong imo.

Only in a horsebox Hearts

Any colt when the emasculators come out...

harsh oshun..........harsh

Dublin Lad.... pity it was only for 4 furlongs, majority of the time.
Rambling river, only a handicapper but as fast as anything in the final furlong if the gaps came!

Brondesbury (Bill O'Gorman) was the quickest thing I've ever seen.

Over teh first 4 furlongs at Epsom, it has to be Repertory.
(At least I think thats how its spelt)

bag of sweets winning at epsom in 1975 trained by g wragg so fast no on couild belive it1 sec outside course record in good to soft never raced again as was sold to far east

i was privileged to be at Haydock to see the fastest horse in the world-the mighty KLUTE
or as i call it the fat useless shirehorse-KLUTE

More seriously the fastest i ever saw in the flesh was Dayjur, the day he won in Haydock he showed scintillating speed and cetainly had the wow factor

LOL Manchester,

I was about to search for So Careful to find the name of the Yank horse, but ta for saving me time [smiley:crazy]

DAYJUR. Fastest horse I´ve ever seen in the Nunthorpe - had it won after 3f.

Old boy at the pub says The Tertrach, trained by Attie Persse

green green desert on the gallops early in the morning....many moons ago

You beat me to it Gerry, I was going to say Brondesbury as well. Tony Ives was the pilot if memory serves.

soba

i,ll row in with brondsbury,remember o,gorman repeatedly saying he wish there were quarter races in england

dancing braves last four furlongs in the derby when getting beat i believe it was one of the fastest ever recorded

manchester - thanks KLUTE that was the nag I was trying to remember!

didn't Klute race against So Careful and get stuffed

No salisbury, in the ARC i think. (Dancing Brave)

I thought Sica Dan would have posted by now..

ThatCandy 'oss (Eveningperformance, or something similar) could shift. Over fences, Black Magic.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the pocket rocket innit [smiley:crazy]

Dancing Braves penultimate furlong in the derby was handtimed at 10.2, his Arc final furlong was calculated at roughly 10.8

Had Dancing Brave saved a bit and not run so fast in that penultimate furlong he would have beaten Shahrastani

Aye Slippy. Saw it win at Epsom on one occasion. It was about 15 lengths clear after two furlongs and the jockey spent the last two furlongs easing it down!

don't think anything surpasses dayjur in last 25 years imo

grendel if the great Dancing brave had run the penultimate furlong slower then he would have lost more distance(or not gained as much) on Shahrastani.
I think if grev had kept him a closer early doors might have been a better option

long time ago SICA DAN.-- problem he was that fast he even struggled with 5 furlongs though he won plenty

geoff m
his final furlong was about 11.8, so you can see how uneconomically he ran the last 2 ... if he ran the penultimate furlong at say 11.1 he could easily have run the final furlong in 10.8 and made up the ½ length beaten distance and it would have looked even more spectacular

Without question - Dayjur.

I was by the rail when he won the Nunthorpe and it was a sight that will live with me forever.

ttt

Dayjur

Cant be bothered to go back to look, but I am sure Amaranda is on here.

It is blackbarn on opening post.

Thought you would be at Goodwood tonight?

O.P from TMM blackbarn.
Was @ York when she made her debut pulling a cart with Lester sat motionless.

She was fast indeed guys. Pity they didn`t have 4f races here like in the USA.

Saw the title, saw it was you, responded immediately

Re G, I was going but with all this rain I am a million hours behind with the garden. Nice evening now though.

Following on from Wollow conversation Blackbarn Ironically think it was also a Hobbs horse(sure this 1 ran 2nd) to Amaranda. She had run placed  on debut @ Craven meeting.

Didnt see Dayjur but saw some other great sprinters of the 80s Sharpo/Marwell/Moorestyle

Ubedizzy

Faster than his stable lad could say, 'where's me finger gawn'

   ARAZI

  ENJOY.

Dayjur.

Glasgow - I fear for you if Arazi is the fastest horse you have ever seen. Passing trees mid-race does not a fast horse make.

Wasnt strictly adhering to the thread title Blackbarn agree, but passing trees in a Breeders Cup is a bit harsh imo.

Glasgow - all about opinions of course. Perhaps passing trees was harsh as it was hugely exciting and impressive. Perhaps he was the tree
