Beat Theatreworld. Theatreworld never won a Grade 1. State Man has won 10 and Constitution Hill gave it a lesson. Different generations but Istabraq was a class act against mediocre opposition
less grade 1s back then, morgiana hurdle for example was a grade 2
@icyestretro
It's long forgotten that Martin Pipe was the underbidder for Istabraq. Reflecting on it years later, Pipe remarked that if he had secured Istabraq, the horse wouldn't have gone near a Champion Hurdle but would have landed regular touches at tracks like Plumpton and Fakenham.
I think we'd better get the BBC's 'fact-checkers' onto this one ^
Also not-so-long-forgotten that Istabraq was bred to win a Derby, being a half-bruv to Secreto
