Cool - Dynaformer was a pig. Nice to see the 68th best horse of all-time with 9th by 20's at 50/1 odds littering his form.

Did Zanjero crack the Top 20 by chance?

Danzig 01-25-2011 06:28 AM
now, that's hilarious. nice find.

When did Joey S. compile this gem?

slotdirt 01-25-2011 09:00 AM
Barbaro has moved up over Zenyatta since DrugSy posted. Rags to Riches is holding steady at #42, however, and Count Fleet is on a rocket to #84!

Don't forget Bluegrass Cat at 99 - if I had to think of the top 100 horses of all time, he'd easily make the list.

Linny 01-25-2011 09:28 AM
I always thought Kip Deville was WAY better than Nashua and Count Fleet, I feel vindicated.:zz::eek:

Where is Eskendereya?

slotdirt 01-25-2011 09:51 AM
He's like 50th. I'm serious.

Travis Stone 01-25-2011 09:53 AM
These rankings are brand new... the whole initiative to have people vote started literally yesterday. So until the public starts voting, the rankings will be silly.

Where's Super Saver and Mine That Bird?

Thunder Gulch 01-25-2011 10:02 AM
Just missing the top 100 Damascus and Count Fleet....I could go on forever.

slotdirt 01-25-2011 10:12 AM
Travis, I don't care how long people have been "ranking" these horses, the fact that Barbaro and Zenyatta are working their way towards the top 10 and Count Fleet is mired in the 80's, not to mention I still can't find Twilight Tear anywhere, says pretty much all I need to know about the average idiot who votes on online polls.

Opinions are like a.ssholes....

Dahoss 01-25-2011 10:23 AM
The idea is a good one....but this poll is a great example of why fans should never be allowed to vote on anything relating to horse racing.

Feel free to log on and vote... it's a process. The rankings are sent through a statistical formula to help regulate those who received loads of votes versus those who didn't... much like the Top 250 on IMDB. So since it's early in the voting (very early, some horses don't even have a vote), it'll take a while to get everything in somewhat logical order.

We're not finding horses for the Hall of Fame with this list, we created something new and hopefully ultimately pretty cool for horse racing fans to enjoy the sport more now and into the future.

When the HOTY was coming-up... we had donks voting Blame a "1" and then two seconds later making Zenyatta a "10" ... very annoying.

I love the comment that Smarty's stud fee will go way up if Backtalk wins the Derby.

Like Eclipse awards? The writers do such a good job already.
