Leading into the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, we asked some of the industry's leading figures a new question each day. Here's how they answered.
Who is the best horse you have ever seen in the flesh?
David Ellis - Te Akau Racing: Kingston Town
Annabel Neasham - Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald Racing: Outside of the obvious (Winx) it would be one of my favourite National Hunt horses, Hurricane Fly. He held the world record for the most number of Grade/Group 1 wins (22) until Winx surpassed that number.
Cherry Taylor - Trelawney Stud: Frankel
Suman Hedge - Suman Hedge Bloodstock: Frankel, he's also the kindest stallion, just a big sweet teddy bear.
Mitchell Ralph - Arrowfield Stud: Remarque (full brother to Estijaab). He would easily be the best looking horse I've seen. He was such an athlete!
Sean Driver - Kurrinda Bloodstock: Lonhro
Sheamus Mills - Sheamus Mills Bloodstock: Best type: Queen Of The Green, Best racehorse: Frankel

Peter O’Brien - Segenhoe Stud: Northern Dancer
Rob Slade - Slade Bloodstock: Winx
Kevin ‘Millie’ Walls - KPW Bloodstock: Sunline
Dave Mee - Pinhook Bloodstock International: Gun Runner in the US - wonderful looking horse, a man's man, and So You Think who has always been a handsome devil.
Cameron Ring - Cambridge Stud: Winx
Scott Darby - Darby Racing: Winx
Matthew Ennis - G1 Goldmine and Stallion Match: Lonhro - never forget my first stallion parade with him only feet away.
