Your list is not bad, but it would probably be better to just do the entire decade. That way you get horses like AP Indy, Tabasco Cat, Prairie Bayou etc. in the mix.

I dont know. 10 years is a little too much for me. I think 5 years is good. That way you can compare horses who finished 3rd and 4th that might of had trouble trips. If you go 10 years, you only get the 1st and and place horse at most.

I'll go with Silver Charm just because he was so competitive-- McCarron's ride on Touch Gold in the Belmont was soooo smart (darn him!).

Though I love Thunder Gulch, too. He was my pick for the Derby that year- -I remember watching the race by myself at my boss's apartment (I was cat sitting). I picked Touch Gold in SC's year-- I was on tour and watched SC's Derby at Golden Gate Fields-- drove two hours to get to spend Derby Day with other racing fans.
