Animal Kingdom

What a devastating burst of acceleration to win the DWC!!..major congrats to graham motion...truly tragic for the american fans that ANOTHER great horse is being shipped off to stud over seas.
as for todays race,wow, they could have gone around again and he wasnt getting beat.
ive commented before that AK, in person, is as spectacular a horse as ive seen in a long time...really really happy with this win!!

Real shame given his ability to get across all sorts of surfaces, run without medication and also the longevity of his career. Would have been the sort of blood we needed to infuse into American breeding.
