This is sort of off topic but I have been meaning to ask you this. Where would you rate Holy Bull on your list? I mean he put on numerous superstar efforts.

Holy Bull was a great horse. On accomplishments + ability, I would have to rate him top five. Understand something. I KNOW that my list is more subjective than objective. I base it more on the talent that I think that I saw than on what they actually accomplished. For that fact, I have absolutely no problem with anyone that ranks Barbaro that high. But I think when we get to being more objective than subjective, we'd realize that my list would have to change....and so would a lot of other people's.
