COX PLATE RACING ARCHIVE - GO SUPER, GO SUPER When you talk about tough horses, they didnt come much tougher than SUPER IMPOSE. He was best known as a feature miler, winning the Doncaster and Epsom Handicaps twice each, including the 1991 Epsom Handicap with a whopping 61kgs. With 20 wins and 24 seconds from 74 starts, he contested, and was in the finish of pretty much every big race you can think of. He won a Turnbull Stakes in 1989, ran 2nd in the Melbourne Cup in 1989 (even though he wasnt really a stayer), ran 4th in the 1991 Melbourne Cup, ran 2nd in the 1991 Cox Plate and won the Cox Plate in 1992. The 1992 Cox Plate victory in a crack field and in a very dramatic race bought the house down at Moonee Valley. It even inspired a song, which you may not have heard, by Melbourne alternative band Mr Floppy who mixed together various race calls with a catchy Go Super jingle. Long before mash ups were the cool thing to do. It certainly makes a very refreshing change from Daryl Braithwaites Horses. Listen here to the song of the 1992 WS Cox Plate. bit.ly/SuperImpose
