English Channel won 6 Grade 1's -- including the BC Turf -- and thankfully no one thinks he deserves consideration.
Though -- he was better than Gio Ponti and Better Talk Now.

"... and Gio Ponti is the leader....
Interpatation trying to come back at him... With one furlong to go... Interpatation is a stubborn foe... GIO PONTI HAS LOST THE LEAD! GIO PONTI HAS LOST THE LEAD!"  I don't care either way... I'm just still so happy I got to live through that and didn't imagine it! Quote:

IMO, for one of our turf horses to be in the Hall of Fame -- they would need to be persumed good enough that if they went to Europe they could likely emerge as the best horse campaigning there.
I think that's mainly what people voting in the poll aren't getting -- turf accomplishments are viewed with much less importance than dirt accomplishments. Historical precedence... and it's not exactly like our top class turf horses have done anything in the last 15 years that should change that discrimination.
