Black Caviar vs. Hay List
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW6r-_OJ45Q Can't say she hasn't faced tough competition. Would like to see them bring her to the Breeders Cup but it looks like they will settle for Hong Kong instead.

He was one of the best 2yo turf horses I ever saw run -- and because of the fact he improved with each start on dirt -- he may have been physically maturing and developing. However, outside of Barbaro's Kentucky Derby win ... he didn't exactly achieve much on dirt...and he beat a very moderate Derby field with a perfect trip. Barbaro was a case of what might have been.

It is a Grade 1 now.  Maybe they could double the purse to entice them. Do something...at least make a legitimate attempt to get her stateside.Best of the best. That's the whole point of the Breeders Cup. They'll do the opposite.

Here's a mythical race I posted once of some of the better performers at the peak of their form.
Would be a cool field for Gallop Racer -- or some video game like that. Swain and quite a few others did not get included in the field.

Lava Man would easily fit with that group on his Southern California form.
However, on his non So. Cal form, he'd barely fit with the 2nd at Presque Isle tonight.

How about Dayjur for Horse of the World - Sprint Division? He has the Euro grass credentials, and he probably would have won the Sprint had he not started jumping a shadow near the wire.

I didn't know much about Reigh Count until I read this thread. Thank You Calzone! I never knew that he went overseas or any of that.
I love learning the history of great horses of yesteryear. He was a heck of a horse from what I read online after you got me interested.

Gentlemen was a freak of nature on both turf and dirt.
Greinton kicked ass on both surfaces too. John Henry could run a little on both. I felt that Lady's Secret would have been a monster on turf.

Borel is in post #26 with RA...he'd probably pull a Denis of Cork move. It would be a fun race to watch on a video game.

2 Names from the 80's come to mind, Alysheba and Java Gold. I think both could have been top turf horses.
