Those are the only two horses that I've seen in my life that I would qualify as great.

Ouija Board in the paddock prior to the Breeders Cup at Churchill was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen in my life... they had the biggest video camera in the place 6 inches from her face and she couldn't care less. It was almost like she was saying to everyone, "yeah, i'm the Sh*t, and I'm gonna win"... I remember saying to anyone who would listen that she was best racehorse on the grounds that day, and still believe that. Been a racing "fan" for 15 years, but only closely following it for the last 3 or 4, and Ouija Board was a great horse. A race anyone, anywhere "great" horse...

and for the record, if Frankie doesn't get her pinned on the rail I think she beats Deep Impact in Japan in his last start...
