2. Would Alydar be considered the Best Horse To Have Never Won a triple crown race?
3. What horse is considered the best horse to ever breed (based on conbined race records of offspring)?
4. On a scale of 1 - 10, 1 means not difficult at all, and 10 means extremely difficult, what do you rank Afleet Alex's recovery at The Preakness?
5. Who is your favorite horse of all time? Mine is Afleet Alex (I know surprise surprise).

5. His Felinity, Cougar II, soon to be installed in the Hall of Fame (and about time!)
4. 8
3. Hoist the Flag - 34% of his offspring were stakes horses.
2. Equipoise? Forego? Seabiscuit didn't start in a Triple Crown race, but these two did. (Forego was fourth in the Derby behind Secretariat.) Are you restricting the choice to TC race starters? Because the field is wide open if you aren't.
1. Kinscem, Ribot, Phar Lap (or did you intend only US horses of the 20th Century?)
