I won't get into who I think was great or who wasn't. I will just say this.......if there is a debate to be had over a horse, he probably doesn't belong on that list. If I say Spectacular Bid, he's agreed upon by 99%. If I say Secretariat, he's agreed upon by 99%. The no debate horses are the only ones that belong on the list. The ones that you have to put their records out there and state their cases, probably not.
