I'd be VERY hard pressed to imagine anyone putting up a list with Curlin and Zenyatta first and second ... and Mineshaft, Bernardini, Medaglia D' Oro, and Congaree all not included in the top 17.
It's as if the author slept through the part of the decade when racing was better in the two glamour divisions (3yo males going long on dirt & older males going long on dirt)
However - it wasn't a top 18 list ... it was a top 20 list... and Pepper's Pride was included over several horses who would have beaten her by double digits lengths on their off day.
How do you think Medaglia D' Oro would do racing against nothing but New Mexico breds his entire career? How do you think he would do matched up against this ....
