Once you get beyond the top 7 on that list you could pretty much throw whatever garbage you want in the last three spots.

There are, however, numerous grade two and three races. Would the list be any better with Seek Gold? Absolutely not. That was the point. U could basically pick any horses after the top two and put them on the list. Why is Good Reward on there and he hasn't even won a stakes race? Why him and not Second of June? Why no Perfect Drift or Magnum? None of them would make the list any better either though. I understand u like Sun King and u know I love Surf Cat but neither of them belong on this list. Both of them belong on the top 10 sprinter list but not this one. U say that u can throw whatever garbage u want into the last three spots. I say u could throw it into the last eight spots.
I'm just saying that when u consider it was just two years ago when we had Ghostzapper, Roses in May, Perfect Drift, Pleasantly Perfect, Medaglia d'Oro, Peace Rules, Saint Liam, and Southern Image.......and just last year when we had Lava Man, Rock Hard Ten, Saint Liam, Borrego, Perfect Drift, Commentator, even Ghostzapper for one race........u see that this year the depth of talent is severly lacking. It's not so much to say that the horses on the list are BAD horses but I think the only reason that some of them are even able to make it is because the upper level talents of the game are taken away earlier and earlier and we are being left with less and less every year.
