Dayjur was bred by my great aunt, Georgia Hofmann. His dam was Gold Beauty, my aunt's champion sprinter, who was the grand-dam of Sky Beauty, Triple Tiara winner and Eclipse Award winner. My aunt studied bloodlines and was passionate about horses. She produced some of the world's fastest thoroughbreds who loved to run.
To be fair it can’t be any other horse there has never been anything like Dayjur Battash is probably the closest because of the way both horses stride away from there opposition and do it with such class as well
Very good list, and an enjoyable watch. The nitpicker in me would be complaining about the abence of Floribunda, Bay Express and Lochnager, but there you go.
It’s a pity Committed was not included. She won the Abbaye twice as well as the William Hill Sprint Championship amongst others. In Europe she ran 27 time for 17 wins, 4 seconds and 3 thirds.......costly against colts.

Sharpo my favourite out of this lot. My uncle David used to look after him. To win 3 Nunthorpes as it’s known now was a great achievement.
Without watching the video I know Dayjur has to be the best. Nothing can come close to him
Amazingly there is not a mention of the fastest of them all. i.e "Windy City" What a glaring ommission. Incredible
Very good list, and an enjoyable watch. The nitpicker in me would be complaining about the abence of Floribunda, Bay Express and Lochnager, but there you go.
Please can you add the year for each race
Never seen anything like Dayjur so explosive he was the best I have ever seen followed by Habibti ! It’s all good if your a Willie Carson fan 🤓
What about Overdose?
I loved the handicapper Raffingora 1970 era. What about old horse winners like Le Garçon D'Or ?
I'd forgotten just how spectacular Mozart was.
Got to spare a thought for Soba .i think she cost 300 Guinea's as a yearling and had a fantastic record.
No mention of raffingora one of englands top sprinters.
Dayjur by a mile but great horses all round❤
Where is Raffingora?
It’s a pity Committed was not included. She won the Abbaye twice as well as the William Hill Sprint Championship amongst others. In Europe she ran 27 time for 17 wins, 4 seconds and 3 thirds.......costly against colts.
What's the best European sprinter beaten by an Aussie visitor?
Anabaa should have made this list. Climate shouldn't have been anywhere near it.
Abernant was a fantastic sprinter and had speed to burn. He would have beaten most of the sprinters of today.
