This 11 page PG1985 thread is a classic. With contributions from all-time greats GRITS, Java Gold, kentuckyrosesinmay, and the man himself, PG1985.....this one is hard to top.
Although reading through it was a bit humbling (why did I like Notional so much?) it is still amusing. The topic is top 5 derby horses and the highlights include:

Java Gold: "Cobalt Blue...who cares about the rest...Java out."
PG1985: "i have a super sleeper, but i have no clue where he is ?"
kentuckyrosesinmay: "I will be very surprised in Street Sense is even in the starting gate."
kentuckyrosesinmay: "Both horses aren't nearly as pretty moving as they were as two year olds. You can pick stuff like this out if you know what you are looking for. Both looked sore to me, especially Street Sense. He doesn't even look like the same horse because he hits the ground so quick now. Any Given Saturday also hits the ground a little quicker than he did as a two year old."
King Glorious: "Only two horses have a chance to win the Derby. The exacta will be Notional and Circular Quay. Haven't decided the order but they are sure to be 1-2."
kentuckyrosesinmay: "Not all horses who are sore will walk sore. Bute hides a lot of things....That's why the people that I am associated with feel the horse's legs at the two year old sales."
kentuckyrosesinmay: "I can tell an enourmous amount about a horse by watching videos of the horses without even being around them. It ties into why they make videos of the horses at the two year old sales."

All of these are just from the first 4 pages of this highly entertaining thread.

Tons of people at Street Sense as their top choice at the time of that thread. I wonder how many of them wagered on him.

Top 5 derby horses...

LMAO!! What a classic.

Who can forget?

Top 5 Derby Horses wins hands down for Topic of the Year. I think the post of the year may be in it as well:

KRIM - I'm going to college to be a cardiologist.
Pillow Pants - Don't you go to a junior college?
BTW - They're small hearts.

My vote goes to the "Amy Ho" picture thread.

Sadly was deleted, but I laughed for days over that thread.

A classic Pillow job...

Although I don't think it exists anymore, whichever thread contained the introduction of "Shouldapulledout"
was top notch.

I think that one qualifies as a finalist for funniest post ever. Also the infamous but now deleted Satans Twin post.
