I know my dad would agree with the post that said Silky Sullivan was the best ever.
Personally I would say Megahertz was (although probably not the best) my favorite in recent years.
Based on his races in the Arkansas Derby, Preakness, and Belmont I think Afleet Alex had the potential to be one of the great "closing kick" horses in recent memory. Unfortunately Rose gave him a strange ride in the Derby and then his career was cut short by injury.
