I just saw it now.

They included Proud Spell but not Riboletta.

If you compare the form of those two horses side-by-side ... bettors would make Riboletta 1/9 against her.

Riboletta ran several races in the 2000 season that would destroy Ginger Punch on her best day as well.

How about having Beautiful Pleasure? Her biggest accomplishments came in 1999. Sightseek deserved a spot over her IMO.

I hear ya ... but at least Beautiful Pleasure was a very good horse.

Yeah - Sightseek was one of a few mares that Frankel trained this decade that was a much better horse than Ginger Punch. Amazing she was left off.

Wild Spirit ... my favorite Frankel female (who Kaspet somehow excluded from an old poll about favorite Frankel females I see) was also much better than Ginger Punch.

I think the editors are either on crack or just drew names from a hat.

how bout Saint Liam as better than at least one of those, won 4 grade 1, and a grade 2, placed in 7 other grade 2 or 3, won about $4.5 mill

No candy ride, mdo or...Congaree?

any of those was better than street sense. Congaree deserves more credit than he gets. He had a great career and was a fine racehorse.
