I don't think it would've killed them to include Ruffian for pete's sake so they should've done the 64 with a play-in or something instead of 32 in order to fit her (she's 35th on the Bloodhorse list which is here for them what wants to see it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood-H...e_20th_Century ).

Let's not get Somerfrost upset by pointing out the lack of Kicsem okay? Clearly nobody's gonna appreciate her. Just a quick question, semi off-topic, but does anybody with an interest in Australian racing figure 'the Diva' will ever be included on any of these lists?

I'm gonna go back to comparing Spectacular Bid and Nashua. I already know how I'm gonna vote but as I said, the bios are fun.

PS. I've decided not enough people appreciate Colin. When Man O'War was running, two horses people would gasp to hear you compared to were Sysonby and Colin. I guess they're too old school.

i thought colin would have had more votes, i almost voted for him myself.
