What an amazing champion Frankel was, so to was Black Caviar, and so to is Winx. To say otherwise is to trivialize the outstanding achievements of all of them.
when i look at the race times of the same distance winx and frankel raced winx had better times why cant we use the race times in judging who's a faster horse
@@thexentrader897 thats correct,its the sectionals winx runs that would stuff frankel up with his sprint home from 800 or 600 out,she'd take that out of him and even if they were level pegging her closing sectionals were still faster than his
@@thexentrader897 because different track conditions. Longer grass and damper surfaces in UK versus shorter grass and harder surfaces in Australia. Timeform uses time ratings and Frankel wins comfortably anyway.
I couldn't give a bag of droppings (horseshit) as to which horse anybody prefers. There have been several equine champions on several continents that have, or should have, given us all great pleasure and pride in watching their performances over the years. Bless then all for providing a passion. Marvellous animals all.
When I cannot compare champions who never raced each other, I look at the breeding stats to rank them. Those who do it on both are the ultimate champions.
Dunadem won the Melbourne cup, Caulfield cup and HK Vase, raced twice against St Nicholas Abbey winner of the Breeders cup turf and was firmly put in his place. Frankel ran against St Nicholas Abbey and beat him easily by 7 lengths. Anyone saying Frankel beat nothing need to look at the horses he beat and then look at the horses they beat then come back with the same argument.
Winks lost two a few some by 15 lengths lol Infact one of them was First Seal(buy many lengths) but things can turn around with Winks smashing Seal by many lengths, and getting her revenge by many. Lengths. Anything can happen on different days... She turned into a freak later on...
@@anneshaw9681Black Caviar's injuries are listed in the vets reports, in her book, in her doco and even in her Wikipedia entry but you know better right ? You are a fruit loop.
@@allancampbell1308 that's because time means nothing in europe. take for instance the Melbourne cup year after year Europe completely dominates it and yet the times the euro horses have run are much slower than the Aussie horses have run that's because European tracks are much slower.
Its an anti Aussie can't beat us altitude Aussies have been disproving since settlement,wouldn't find wind or black caviar racing in 4 horse fields that's just wrong but gave Frankel the higher rating in against lower rating fields,enable is worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence
This is a quote from the book that came out about Black Caviar made by her trainer Peter Moody. QUOTE: "I've been around horses all of my life and I've never known one better than Black Caviar. I find judging her place in racing history hard because I'm so close to her. That's why I've always deferred to other people's opinions. What I do know is this, Black Caviar is the finest horse I've ever seen or worked with.........until I saw Frankel win on that Tuesday at Royal-Ascot." End quote. Enough said!!
im taking winx at any distance from 1200m to 2000m shes a freak 33 straight wins 4 cox plates unreal if frankel was so great should of brought him here to race the best we took black cavier to england and won so frankel come on down and prove yaself
So they both raced over 7 furlongs and you can't compare them. Brilliant. Frankel would beat Black Caviar by many lengths. Black Caviar is the most overrated horse ever to come out of Australia. No Australian sprinter post war comes close to Vain
Black Caviar had 25 races( winning all 25) he only ever raced 7 furlongs once, the rest were shorter(sprints).Frankel predominantely ran most of his races at a longer distance than 7 furlongs.Only 3 were at 7 furlongs.In human terms you are comparing Sebastian coe with ussain bolt.I don't understand your logic.Look up the facts , its plain and simple.Both great horses at different distances.
Who can tell? Frankel was certainly a lot better than anything else he faced. The most impressive was against Cirrus des Aigles. The way he beat that champion on that ground was phenomenal.
The Aussies complain that our horses didn't go and challenge Winx, they constantly said "bring your horses here to challenge her, the rest of the world should send their horses to Australia to take her on". Waller uttered some glib line about planes going in both directions. Well the other countries did travel. So it looks like the planes did only go one way. Coolmore, Godolphin and Japanese stables all sent horses halfway around the world to race her. About 8 or 10 horses from overseas did go out there and race her. But Winxs connections never had the respect and manners to do those overseas connections the honour of a rematch on their home turf. Highland Reel and Benbatl travelled halfway round the world and took her on in her own backyard with all the odds stacked in her favour. In 2017 when Winx was at her peak Highland Reel ran over 10f at Royal Ascot, where was Winx? Why didn't her owners return the favour to Highland Reel and give him a chance for a rematch on his home turf? Or even in the USA on neutral ground. Nuh Uh! If you took her on in her own backyard don't expect to get a rematch unless it was 100% on her terms where she had all the advantages and everything was stacked in her favour. Pretty poor really. Highland Reel especially should have been given that respect after he travelled to race her. Why didn't Winxs connections give him a rematch in the the Prince of Wales at Ascot in 2017 or in the USA at the Breeders Cup? Godolphin raced against her a couple of times and should have been given the respect of a rematch on their home turf, never happened.
She was 13lbs inferior on Timeform ratings, and your comment marks you out as a novice. Frankel ran only in Grp 1 company - most of Winx wins were in Group 2. She was racing handicappers.
I am Australian. Black Caviar would not beat Frankel over 1400. Never in a million years could Black Caviar win over1600 against Frankel. What a stupid statement. Black Caviar raced once as a five year old . Never raced over 1600. Could not beat any good Australian miler. Overrated donkey. protected all her life. Would not live against Vain the most brilliant horse ever to race in Australia over the last fifty years. How old are you son ? Thirty
Nautilus1972 You're obviously english,.I understand your bias. Before you go calling me a novice, realise that the GROUP 1COX PLATE which WINX has won 3 years in a row now is not a handicap event it's weight for age and of the highest quality.
Timeform ratings are little more than a marketing tool. Try and find a formal proof of the algorithm they use to determine timeform ratings. You won't because they don't have one. It's complete and utter marketing bullshit.
lol lol lol quoting Timeform means end of story ? Since when ? I wouldn't wipe my arse with Timeform's ratings they are worthless. Do you know they had a British horse called Hoof It rated the same as Black Caviar after Black Caviar had won 5 or 6 Grp1's and Hoof It never managed to win one ? How about the laughable 136 rating they have given to Baattash, a one time Grp1 winner who has been beaten at 3 of it's last 5 starts. Must be some all time great sprinters in Europe at the moment if a horse beaten at 3 of it's last 5 gets the same 136 as Black Caviar but we know that is simply not the case. For proof look no further than Aussie 3yo Merchant Navy. Goes to the Ire and touches them up in a Grp2 giving the entire field weight and a beating before going to the Diamond Jubilee and again giving them a beating. Not enough evidence ? Then how did July Cup winner US Navy Flag go when he raced 3 times in Australia ? He finished closer to last than first in all 3 starts. Yes sure Timeform know what they are talking about lol lol. Why did they never give Secretariat a rating ? They have given horses from the 50's ratings and Secretariat raced in the 70's. What a Euro biased joke of a publication.
@@elgransenor1472 Had Black Caviar been English they would have hailed her as the second coming. There has never ever been a more dominant sprinter in history. Unbeaten racing in 5 different calendar years, left handed, right handed, straight tracks it didn't matter and all but 2 of her wins, both times when she was injured, she idled over the line. She beat the world's 2nd highest ranked sprinter 6 times and raced against the best sprinting division on the planet. She holds 2 of the 3 fastest times, including the fastest, ever recorded at Australia's premier track. For all that she remained unbeaten. She was simply a freak
AnotherFastnet70 I agree with all of that. BC didn't have to go to Ascot to prove she was the best, we all knew that already. I always thought Ascot was just a chance to show her off, for the world to see her, not to prove how good she was. I was hoping she would win the same way Frankel did and bookend the week with two amazing victories by two champions. It's a shame the campaign was stuffed up so badly. I don't feel the same way about Winx. Winx doesn't have to go to Europe but she's gotta beat a better horse to put a stamp on her certificate of greatness for me. She's clearly a superb, superior racehorse and would be in any era. Unfortunately she's raced in this era which I consider especially poor in Australian middle distance racing. Winx has not met a middle distance equivalent of Hay List. Humidor, Hartnell and Happy Clapper are not the middle distance equivalents of Hay List. I think they are quite a long way short of it. If she wins another 3-4 races against the same type of opponent and retires I'll always think - Great horse, boring career, boring story. This is the only reason I criticise her connections for not going to Europe. If there had been high class opposition in Aus, then no probs, stay there and race, but surely after win number 20 and no prospect on the horizon of any genuine competition you'd look further afield for greater challenges. I thought a 4th Cox Plate was the easy option. I also want to see them let her go, just once. Sit 2nd or 3rd and go for home at the 500. Let her show us what she can do. Surely the poor horse would like to be let go and not have to hold herself back and be restrained, let her off the leash, just once. Let her loose to enjoy herself and so we can see the whole package in one race.
Apart from the fact that Black Caviar was a pure sprinter. There is no way he would have got close if she was well. You only saw a sick horse win the King Stand. A fairer comparison is Winx who won the best handicap and WFA miles in Australia as well as the most important WFA race in Australia the10 furlong W.S.Cox Plate 4 years in a row. She won 33 races in a row over 4 yearsbefore retiring. All were Group races including 25 G1 (one streak of 10 in a row). She was versatile winning at 8 different courses - from 6.5 furlongs to 11 furlongs in that run. She too raced on grass and you will see that her times weere exccellent - wet or dry conditions made no difference.
Frankel absolutely would have went with Black Caviar. On level terms, I have no doubt he would have beat her, but giving the weight away, it may have been hard for him. On the other hand, it may have been easy and he may have won by daylight. It's really hard to tell. All I know is, he clocked sectionals to match Dayjur who was the best Sprinter we've had in decades. Black Caviar was likely as good, so it would have been some race.
People who compare sprinters with milers are stupid. ANd anyone who mentions Winx in the same breath also do not understand the basics. Winx was 13lbs inferior to Frankel on ratings, and spent at least half her time in Group 2 company.
When Winx won her last race, the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick (Apr14, 2018), she held a World record (from1984) 18 G1 wins and had equalled Black Caviar's 25 consecutive wins. She has defeated over 59 other G1 winners in setting her records.
Nautilus1972 you’re an ill informed idiot, she’s won 22 group 1’s and four of them cox plates end on end, your time form ratings system is horseshit, look at the history of horse racing and find the horses that aren’t there that should be and that proves my point of its bias toward English and European horses, look at the times wind has run and compare them to Frankel, she creams him from anywhere between 1600-2200, take tour ridiculous bias hat off and educate yourself on the facts and not the bullshit hype of the timeform fuckwits, I don’t deny that Frankel was a great horse but open your eyes and be fair, when you’ve done the research and seen the facts get back to me, I await your apology, til then say nothing for all you uninformed arm chair critics do is embarrass yourselves, good day to you sir.
Blue English staffy breeder She won 22 "Australian" group ones including the Winx Stakes, Optic White Stakes, Turnbull Stakes etc which nobody in their right mind could consider genuine group one races. About 8 of those 22 were legitimate world class Group One races. She was a superior racehorse but claiming 22 Group One wins is laughable really. You only have to look at the very ordinary list of horses winning Group Ones from 1600-2200 this Spring to see that the races aren't all Group One quality and the level of horse she beat. Beating 50/60/70 group one winners like Homesman, Black Heart Bart, Humidor is hardly proof of greatness. The best rating the second horse ever ran against her was 122. So she never needed to run more than 124/125 to win all those races. She had to be consistently good to win them, but she didn't need to be great to win any of them.
Farknels highest rated speed was 67.5 compared to winds 69.4 and that's a fact,farknel built his ratings in fields of four underrated horse,would have been if he ever ventured outside he's UK bubble,enable far superior horse
Is this the same frankel that only raced in races set up for him. The same frankel that beat the same horse 4 times the same horse that just about got home against a terrible field. I can name you 5 better horses through the generations easily

Frankel at his best, was and is, the Greatest race horse, you and I and anyone on this planet, could ever have the privilege to observe. There has never been and probably never will be another like him. EDDERY, CARSON, DETTORI, CUMANI, HUGHES, all say Frankel has no peers. EDDERY'S comment was "I have never seen anything close to him" and don't forget Pat won the Arc on Dancing Brave CARSON commented "There will never ever be one like him". We can comment all day long but when you hear guys like them say this there is your answer.!!!!.👍🌹
Frankel wudve smoked the lot of them, Frankel didnt have to go to Australia to race, Royal Ascot yous come here, england is where the greatest horse run end of
I still say - Black Caviar was as good a sprinter as Frankel was a miler 🤷♂️ they are both clearly not even close the best sprinter and the best miler I’ve ever seen. The only thing that annoys me is whenever we see Frankel/BC or even a Frankel vs BC video - if Caviar has a replay shown it’s always Ascot. Her worst performance she didn’t travel well got injured and still won. She’s got like 15 other mental wins a couple literally not getting out of first gear beating group 1 horses 😂 but no we see Ascot 😢 anyway both just freaks
yes good horses make good make it to the top..jockey guide the horse.the lad looks after the horse well in the stable, and see the horse well, Who is Sir Hendry Cecil, a man who loved his horses a man who use to talk to to his horses, even to his hack,. in his first year he study his horse he knew Wolow Hollow Rain in face, Karen, and many more these were his first lot. Sir Cecil was a true lover of horses. May his sole rest in peace.
If he would of, he would likely have never been the same horse afterwards. It would have took every ounce of heart, strength, soul and guts to toe to toe with Frankel and somehow prevail in the end of it. Oh what fun it must be for God to match-race these in his mind and see the outcome xD
SvendBosanvovski If you saw his sectionals, he could mix it with the best over 5f - including Dayjur, a higher rated horse than Black Caviar - so over 6f, it would be even easier - he wouldn't toy with her, he'd have to work a little, but he'd win comfortably :)
I have analysed his and her sections in detail. Of course, sectionals have not been as available in the UK as they are here. All but one of Black Caviar's races have been tracked. Half of her races were on rain affected going. From memory, Frankel only twice approached her regular sectional times (adjusting from metric) (not including the Sussex Stakes when he beat CC). Once downhill at Goodwood and in the QA. He was a great miler, but he could not have matched her speed. Toyed with her? You are dreaming, Lee.
ya lee Frankel sectionals are much slower than black caviar.....not to mention so many track and world records by only one horse which are still standing to date....the one and only Secretariat.....lee you have to understand that frankel has been given media attention to increase his stud fee in UK.....please be clever lee....use your brain lee
SvendBosanvovski Right again Sven. Of course they have no idea of her incredible 28foot stride ( equal to the mighty Bernborough) and her explosive sectionals. And of course her ability to accelerate at any part of the race. Lot of ignorant people commenting here. But of course that's nothing new on RU-vid. Cheers.
This video proves nothing he never raced the best in his day nor did he leave England for fear of getting beat.Black Caviar would kill him over a mile and quite frankly had a far superior record.
wayneo1269 ya youre right he was a very ordinary horse .. i was lookin at his times over a mile and tbh he wouldnt come close to my opel insignia times on the m4
Frankel was never tested outside of England Black Caviar never ever reached the bottom of the well,if you want to compare them hypothetically speaking Black Caviar ran once over 1400 and won easily, so check them sectionals but bear in mind She was never asked for the supreme effort,Frankel was asked for the supreme effort more than once and I'll admit he produced but Black Caviar was another beast,Her jockey went to sleep on her once but jogging half paced with a back injury she still won.Before you under sell Black Caviar you really need to consider them facts.I deal in facts not one liners.
Winx has taken Black Caviar's Crown, 27 straight wins, BOTH are Queen's of the turf ANYWHERE!! Frankel? He'd still be running....a good horse but not good enough.
That must mean Kinscem is the greatest racehorse of all time. Winning 33 doesn't make Winx better than Black Caviar and winning 25 doesn't make Black Caviar better than Frankel. Stupid comment.
Winx all the way for the day. No contest! Secretariat & Seabiscuit were fully challenged stand-outs too. But long distance stayer there will never be anything close to the great Phar Lap.
@@TheReevessss Who knows how great Secretariat was on Turf, if he could have competed with the best of the Europeans.. But one things for certain, Winx wouldn't have sniffed the ass of Frankel, Seabird of Ribot. They where cut from a different cloth. And reign in completely different leagues. Timeform winx 134 Ribot 142 Seabird 145 Frankel 147 (Almost a stone superior to Winx).
European horses need pacemakers to win,you don't get that crap in australia so the races a full on unlike your set ups.Bigger fields in australia as well.im not going to bag frankel obviously fine horse,but aussies rule
The Aussies used to regularly send horses to Royal Ascot to win races. Then steroids were banned in their country, as they had been everywhere else for years. Then guess what? They don't sent them anymore. Makes you wonder if the previous winners were all Lance Armstrongs.
Don't mind what comes to ur country ..you have to leave and go to usa to take on the sprint horses over there to be called the best horses in the world ...the likes of gallieo.giantswaya. Rock of Gibraltar. .there horses that done it ...sure frankel is from gallieo ...but he should have went for the dirt.
So?in short no he wasnt. Did come to Australia yet we sent blacks there and im sure you soap doging pims would say the same thing if he did and she didnt.How can you call something a champion when he needed a pacemaker?couldn't he rate his ow pace or did he need assistance,seems all to dodgy for my liking and whats with only four horse fields and one of those fricken four is your stablemate,unbelievable,but i guess easy way to rack up cheap ratings
Why don't the Pommie horse owners back them and come to Australia. You all reckon it is inferior here so they should get a good pay day when they come over.... Enable is quality as is Winx... Frankel was also quality, so bring them over here and see how good they are.... would still fancy Winx over 1600m- 2000m, Enable probably edges it over the 2400m... but that's my opinion... listen to the Audio and ignore video, how the fuck did you mange to get Batman to speak on behalf of Frankel!!
G T Why doesn't Christiano Ronaldo go and play for Brisbane Roar to prove he's better than Aussie footballers? The same reason European horses don't send their best horses to race in Australia. It's third rate. You might have big prizemoney but that's like putting lipstick on a pig. Tim Cahill came to Europe to prove himself, it's up to Winx to do the same.
The answer to your question is because they want to run in much more important races. No horse with a live chance in the Irish Champion, Juddmote, Arc or Champion Stks would give that up to run in Australia. Nobody who owns any of the best 5 middle distance horses in Europe is interested in the Cox Plate. Ballydoyle could have brought SYT back to Aus to win a third or fourth Cox Plate but they clearly thought running in Europe was more important
Winx Frankel Enable were not overrated. Winx is a better horse than Black Caviar. Vain was a far superior sprinter and milerto Black Caviar, Like Frankel's massive winning margins Vain beat the best in Australia in Australian record times by 10 and 12 lenghts over 6 furlongs .Vain Luskin Star and Todman had far superior sprinter miler records by the time they were early three year olds to Black Caviar who was a pussy and the most overrated horse ever to come out of Australia .Placed to win races not to be a champion. Comparing Black Caviar to Frankel is an absolute insult to Frankel by a few young Australians who have been out in the sun too long
"Vain Luskin Star and Todman had far superior sprinter miler records by the time they were early three year olds to Black Caviar who was a pussy"............Provide evidence of this. Remember Winning margins mean nothing. All it really shows is that the opposition might not be any good. Black Caviar remained UNBEATEN and won EVERY big Grp1 sprint race on the Australian calendar as well as the premier sprint race at Europe's premier meeting, she won some of our very best Grp1 sprints multiple times. She beat the world's 2nd highest rated sprinter 6 times out of 6. Black Caviar is the FASTEST horse in history to ever race down the Flemington straight in 150+ years stopping the clock at 55.42 for 1000m. She also owns 2 of the 3 fastest times in HISTORY (55.53). That history includes Vain, Luskin Star and Todman. She had the record Grp1 wins by an Australian horse when she retired, and has only recently been passed by another all time great Winx. She has the ALL TIME Australian record of 25 consecutive race wins, 24 of them Black Type, 7 of them Grp2's and 15 of them Grp1's and NONE of them age or sex restricted !! You can spew shit about records until you are blue in the face but there is not a sprinter in HISTORY with a better record and that is an irrefutable FACT even you cannot deny IMBECILE !!!!!!
Of course you can compare horses that race over different distances. Both Frankel and Black Caviar raced over 1400. You can compare anything. Secretariat was a better horse than Black Caviar. Zoom Top was a better greyhound than Black caviar Bret Lee was a better greyhound than Black Caviar. Kingston Town was a better horse than Black Caviar. Tulloch was a far superior horse to Black Caviar. Cardigan Bay was superior to Black caviar Point being you can compare anything over any time over any distance.
I remember seeing Kingston town and gurners lane doing a match race at Randwick, absolutely mind blowing. The power ,speed and perfect form they exhibited was exceptional !!!!
Bring Winx across to the UK and race it against Frankels boy, Cracksman. It would be the same as this result, Excelebration would be Winx, Frankel would be Cracksman. Absolutely no doubt about that, It would be an absolute formality. PS. You can't even spell the horses name correctly.
What an Insult to Frankel. Black Caviar is the most overrated and protected horse ever to come out of Australia. Frankel would beat Black Caviar by many lengths and Moody new it. Vain is the only horse ever produced in Australia post war that you could compare with Frankel. Nothing else.
You've posted this ridiculous comment on a few videos. Run along now, Annie 'Not' Shaw. Not sure about anything, are we dumpling? Certainly not horse racing. Ciao :D
This is for all you clueless Black Caviar fans. Even Peter Moody thinks" FRANKEL IS THE BEST HE'S EVER SEEN" Watch this interview on YT from 38secs into vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VKQ4xTCTDtE.html Also here's a quote, from the Black Caviar Book. By Peter Moody in the Forward. Quote "I've been around horses all my life and never known one better than Black Caviar. I find judging her place in the history of racing hard. I'm so close to her. That's why I've always deferred to other people's opinions. What I know is, Black Caviar is the finest horse I've ever seen or worked with - until I saw Frankel win on that Tuesday at Royal Ascot" :-)
+protarget1 In Australia trainers of other great sprinters from the past unanimously rate none of their horses to be anywhere near as good as Black Caviar. No other horse before her or since has come close to running sub 10 second 200m sectionals like she has. Comparisons with Frankel are ridiculous as she never raced beyond 7f and he never raced over the 5f or 6f distances where she had most of her wins. On top of that she travelled to another hemisphere , Frankel did not . She was unbeaten in 25 starts Frankel in 14. Glad to have seen them both race - both were great for racing and helped to advance and promote the sport.
+protarget1 Black Caviar ran hot 400m and 600m sectionals as well. it's amazing how people can under rate a horse that won every race she ever entered. The reason why her later races were sometimes against weak opposition is because rival owners and trainers didn't want to enter a race they couldn't win. If Black Caviar was European you'd be promoting her greatness as if she was the second coming. 25 races, never beaten, raced in both hemispheres, - she is the benchmark for sprinters.
+tdunster2011 In MHO Black Caviar was the best sprinter ever. Like Frankel never Pushed, and a huge stride. But what North American & Aussie racing fans don't understand is the difficulty of none UK race horses have adapting to the vast different types of tracks in UK. L/R undulating and mainly uphill. Also the wind and rain and going. Not the flat easy tracks you find in NA and Australia. Black Caviar found this out at Ascot. Only her Class got her home. Animal Kingdom was thought to be a world beater until he was found out at in The QA at Ascot. He couldn't handle the track, ground or conditions. Another example, a lot of uneducated racing fans try to compare Frankel's 2000gns time to other others. What they fail to understand that Frankel in the 2000gns was running into a gusting 45mph to 55mph headwind, still ran the 1st 5f from a standing start, in around 56secs
+protarget1 Caulfield and Moonee Valley have brought many a horse unstuck. Kingston Town was absolutely useless there much like Lonhro was at Moonee Valley. In better shape I don't think Ascot would trouble BC. She was a shade of her true self that day and would have been easily beaten by many horses in Australia if she ever ran like that again. Fortunately for BC she never had to face sprinters at Ascot anywhere near as good as those she beat easily in Australia. As for Frankel - wonderful racehorse, did more for racing in England than Black Caviar did for racing in Australia. He pretty much put racing back on the map which in many respects means more than times / sectionals. That's why Phar Lap is so legendary - he not only beat quality opposition - he pretty much showed Australians the light at the end of the tunnel during the great depression.
Black caviar is the most overrated horse ever to come out of Australia. Beat Frankel. Is that sought of joke. Vain is the most brilliant horse seen in Australia over the last fifty years. Kingston town a close second.
Anne, you don't know what you are talking about. Frankel was more of a middle distance horse, while Black Caviar was a 1200 meter sprinter. Over 1200 meters Frankel (magnificent animal that he was) would just not have been able to catch her. FYI - Black Caviar's breeding has a double cross of the mighty Vain on both the Sire and Dam's side.
Ashley sounds like wannabee seppo and fuck all about racing. If you want to mention the most influential racehorse in the past century plus... look up Northern Dancer, a canadian horse.
