It would have to be a horse who comes back year after year an wins different races ie a handicap champion hurdle gold Cup I can't think of one of the top of me head probably dawn run or best mate or arkle
I wonder if Quevega would've won a Champion Hdle if given the chance ? I mean Annie Power & Honeysuckle did & Quevega was a top class mare, don't think she'd have won a stayers Hdle as Big Bucks was a bit too good for her at 3 miles but at 2 miles i think she would've had a great chance at a Champion Hdle.
Barry G grandfather bred Golden Miller. WOW some feat. Best Mate great horse win 3 Gold Cups,but not the flashy win type. Istabraq 3 Champ Hdles, Big Bucks 4 stayers hdles 18 wins in a row & Quevega 6 mares hdles some feat BUT now talking about where they'd put Arkle if he was on the list then even Golden Miller's feat 5 Gold Cups & 1 Grand National remarkable but Arkle still would top them all.
Arkle was best lets get that straight he won thevking george by a mile he was differejt class then sprintre sacre golden miller flyingbolt istabraq who would have won 4 champion hurdles. If not for foot and mouth

Loved hearing about Barry’s connection to Golden Miller and Sir AP’s ‘you’re not even the best Geraghty in your family’ made me laugh!
Arkle was the greatest of them all full stop
arkle best ever
Golden miller wouldn't hold a candle to arkle full stop
Top 5 arkle sprinter sacre istabraq constitution Hill moscow flyer see you then
Constitution after Istabraq must be what it’s achieved I’d say .
Cos constitution is a beast
Wonder if I can get Barry to sign my 1938 golden Miller cigarette card on gold cup day 😅

Arkle and Dawn Run must have a chance of being in there?
Dawn Run wasn't even the best rated performance of that Gold Cup
Why no Badsworth Boy?
Golden Miller !!
Sprinter Sacre. No question.
