    Your obsession with the man is slightly scary

    Be warned my choices change on daily basis!!

    Flat:

    Horse - Tough choice. Giant's Causeway was so tough, the likes of Dubai Millenium, George Washington & Montjeu so classy. Sea The Stars had both toughness & class.

    I'm gonna go for an old favourite of mine from Jim Bolger's yard, Alexander Goldrun

    Jockey: The one & only Kieran Fallon. A flawed genius but a genius nevertheless

    Trainer: I'd say Aidan O'Brien if it wasn't for the constant hyping of the Coolmore horses. I'll go for Henry Cecil

    Jumps:

    Horse: I loved Moscow Flyer & the day he beat Azertyioup in the 04 Tingle Creek was possibly my most memorable day racing. The likes of Kauto Star, Master Minded & Denman are all seriously top class horses & I always had a soft spot for Sizing Europe

    Fondmort gets my vote though, one of the best jumpers of a ence you'll see & as game as they come. Career sadly cut short by injury but at least the old boy lived to tell the tale

    Jockey: Toss up between AP McCoy & Paul Carberry.

    Trainer: While I've criticised the man for some of his antics in the past, Charles Byrnes is as sharp as they come. While he's capable of landing a gamble with a handicappr give him a good horse & he'll train it like one.

    NH
    Denman (attitude, turning the screw from the front & jumping)
    Lough Derg (attitude & never ever ever lying down)
    Monets Garden (Jumping, jumping & turning the screw from the front)

    Barry Geraghty

    Nicholls & Mullins

    Flat
    Sea The Stars(best ever, love a horse that is travelling but doesn't look like they are moving)
    Zarkava(smashing filly, loved the gears.

    Mick Kinane & Richard Johnson

    Cecil(legend) & Al Zarooni(will be one of the best ever)

    Obviously Dr O' Brien is the best ever but tried to keep it fairly current
