We're not finding horses for the Hall of Fame with this list, we created something new and hopefully ultimately pretty cool for horse racing fans to enjoy the sport more now and into the future.

In the case of an IMDB Top 250 - people have a lot better access to viewing movies than they do access to the needed information and material to make any kind of educated guess on the rating of horses from different generations.
It's much easier for a fan of movies to critique Lawrence of Arabia than it is for a fan of racing to critique Tom Fool.
It is a neat concept. I realize it's probably too much work to do a page write-up on the thousand or so most worthy horses - however, why not use that box on the right to put in your sites own brief comment? Why rely on dopey readers to put down moronic garbage?
If I ever stumble across this IMDB Top 250 thing you talk about - I'd rate 'I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell' and 'Trailor Park Boys' the two greatest movies of all-time ... because, in my opinion, they are.
