Your opinion is just different than mine.


Its impossible to put it into perspective how good Blame really is. He simply didn't run enough. Just when he starts to really show hes not an ordinary horse hes retired, so to say the boys really don't stack up....I think thats assuming Blame was just a very good horse. How can we say when his best season wont be ran?

She proved her merit on the dirt, albeit not winning, but certainly showing she was very capable of winning, and likely the best horse in the world on the dirt. She beat the best horses in the world, the boys, last year. She beat the best girls in the world the year prior. She overcame a horrible start this year and was in a photo with a horse she had no business being in. Just her ability to always fire her best race is great alone, but to do it 19 times in a row, and to beat the best boys in the world. Ill forgive who she faced this year leading up to the breeders cup. When they asked her to run, she laid it down like great ones do.

No the Melbourne Cup 3 times isnt equal to 1 breeders cup classic. Diva was readily beat by Elvstroem, whenever he left Australia he was handed his ass. She was a very nice horse but not in the same breath as these others you mention.

Goldikova, freak, best miler ever, consistantly ran that freak race.

Zarkava, unfortunately while she looked like she was any kind she raced 7 times. I think there has to be some kinda longevity Cannon. Surely a great juvenile.

PE is a no brainer
