Where's the best horse to ever look though a bridle? Spectacular Bid!!!!

[miraja2]

Very easy question.
Only one of those horses was awesome enough to put away a superstar like Sinister G, and still have enough left in the tank to nose out absolute freaks like Master David and Swingforthefences.
I don't think any of those other donkeys in the poll would have had a chance in the '04 Wood.

Since Easy Goer wasn't on the list, I voted Man O' War.

[cowgirlintexas]

Voted for Man O' War. Tough to choose between him and Secretariat...In a race between them and Big Brown.. Would have to say Big Brown in 3rd..At this point anyhow. He would have to go on and win the Belmont by 20 lengths, and win the Breeders Cup against Curlin for me to put him past those two greats. I love the horse, but can't imagine him beating one of them.

Usually I don't take personal shots at people but Cannon Shell is a true idiot. How could he make a list like this and not include Zippy Chippy and Rick's Natural Star? Stupid.

if big brown won the belmont by 20, and beat curlin, you'd move him ahead of secretariat and man o war?
remarkable.

Yes. I thought it was pretty obvious that each horse on the poll except for Man o'War and Secretariat was a horse that has been way over-hyped. I was always firmly in the Bernardini-is-over-hyped camp.

People have short memories. Bernardini was being showered with "one for the ages" accolades, too, similar to what we're hearing about Big Brown now. Thankfully Bernardini ran in the Breeder's Cup. We probably won't have that luxury with Big Brown.

i agree with you 100% . you were joking about bernardini earlier. the whole list has only 2 that are worth a vote. man o'war or secretariat. with curlin approaching them , maybe. but as i said in previous post man of war was 20 for 21. these horses can't even sustain a career like this. its rare for them to even get 20 starts. which points to the whole breeding/drug mess!

You may be involved with the next poll with that remark

you are joking ? i hope. i can't believe funnycide and big brown are even in the survey. by the way bernardini beat mostly crap. the travers he won was the weakest field i ever saw and i've been going to it for 30 years. besides curlin , afleet alex is probably the best recent horse. if he doesn't get in trouble in the derby, he wins the TC. his preakness was awesome, i've never seen a horse recover and win like that .
