Greats
Three horses who never got a chance to show how great they might have been: Danzig, Hoist the Flag, and Roberto. All were pretty good in the breeding shed though....
Great horses that i remember from my early days in racing
Forego - carried the weight. Loved to go to Belmont and see him give 10-15 lbs to Quiet Little Table and others...
Affirmed, Alydar, Seattle Slew come to mind right away of course....
Pearl Necklace would not be a great horse but the Roger Laurin trained filly was my first real love in horse racing in New York.... Always competed against Greentree, Darby Dan and Rokeby horses. The good old days...
Loved when Pebbles came to Aqueduct to win the Breeders Cup race from overseas....
Curlin might become great if he is allowed to race. We shall see....
Ghostzapper was fast real fast, have to call him great....
