I'm glad Gone West was just mentioned as I was about to chastise KG for leaving him out. He lost close ones in the Wood to Gulch and I also believe he was third in the Whitney behond Java Gold and Gulch but I'm not certain about that.
And, KG, I completely agree about Medaglia D'Oro and this mistaken " can't get 10F " rap. His second in the BC was arguably his best race ever when you take the pace into account. He was a very good horse going 10F and it is far from clear he was any better at 9F.
