Rank the best 3 year olds of this decade

[JJP]

My top five 3YOs of this decade so far:

1. Curlin
2. Point Given
3. Tiznow
4. Barbaro
5. Afleet Alex

most overrated: FuPeg--absolute dream pace setup in KY Derby
best losing performance: Congaree in the 2001 Derby
worst winner of a Triple Crown race: tie between Commendable, Da Tara and the McPeek runner (can't even remember the name) who won the Belmont at something like 60-1.

This decade 2000-2008 critaria :

Medaglia D'oro should be on any list.

For argument's sake I am curious who would you rank as your top 10 3yr olds this decade?

not sure, have never made a list of horses. but rest assured, mdo would not be on it. no horse that finishes behind volponi AND sarava would be worthy.

Okay, lol I see where this is leading. Then again, we could also say Milwaukee Brew, Evening Attire, Macho Uno, Dollar Bill, Hawk Wing, War Emblem, Harlan's Holiday, Came Home, E Dubai, Perfect Drift all finished behind Volponi.

just has always been my opinion that mdo could never seal the deal on a big day, which is why i don't consider him top ten in this decade-but i would probably put him in the top ten for that crop.

Solid list also. Thanks for putting this up to Gander and the rest so I could go back and watch some of the races. One change that I must insist on despite my partial nature towards Congaree.
