There are plenty in there that I don't think were great horses and therefore, I wouldn't have voted for them because I don't think they were deserving. A lot of horses that I think were great horses (Java Gold, KG, Smarty, Lammtarra, GZ, and Candy Ride, for example), if I had a vote, they would not be in. Would you have voted Silver Charm in?

You intepreted me correctly, and my answer is without a doubt.
He won 2 legs of the TC, 11 graded stakes, and danced all the dances, and ended up I believe the 2nd highest earning thoroughbred of all time (at the time). He was one of my all time favorites, and the '98 BC was one of my all time favorite races. He was just somewhat inconsistent... the truly great ones don't run inexplicable races like he did on occasion. I believe the terms I would use are "outstanding" and a "horse I would love to own".
