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.

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] |

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 |

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

By:
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 |

By:
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.
