Sindaar - very under-rated horse

[@michaelroberts1685]

Sinndar was my favourite horse.. Very sad he died Nov 2018. The Arc 2000 was a fantastic day and I remember it like it was yesterday, Cannot believe it was 20 years ago!! I and a couple of friends picked Sinndar for both derbies in 2000 and backed him three months before the Arc at 9/2.. On the day I think he was 6/5 or even 11/10.. Amazing the way he battled back in the home straight, determined not to be overtaken.. RIP Sinndar.. x

[@Hennyandginger]

He was my favorite horse as well, underrated and could have continued a long and successful career. The way he won the Irish derby with a heavier weight than the others made it for me.

[@robertdelacy3434]

@@Hennyandginger he had the same weight as all the others in the Irish derby

Very underrated. Dalakahni was underrated as well IMO.

Sinndar brilliant horse loved him

[@GBeret83]

A lot of very good horses around the era of 2000-2001 in Europe. Giant's Causeway, Sakhee, and Galileo. But this colt may have been as good as any of them. Only beaten one time in his career in the Ballysax Stakes. But wins in the National Stakes, Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial, Epsom Derby, Irish Derby, Prix Niel, and Prix De l' Arc De Triomphe. I personally think only Giant's Causeway's 6 G1 wins, and 3 G1's he ran 2nd in rival Sinndar's 4 G1 wins, and only one career loss. JMO.
