Which horses were truly great?

John Henry is one I waffled on and certainly has a strong argument to be included. I'm sticking to North American based horses so wouldn't count Miesque.

I dont know how you could include Colin and not Cigar...

I think Unbridled's Song would have been an alltime great had he not been injured his whole career and had a better owner... Zito still calls him the best he's ever trained.. and he only trained him for one race his 4yo year! I think he beat Appealing Skier and ran 7 furlongs in 1:21.. off of a looooong layoff!

Colin was a tough call but 15 for 15 lifetime with an American record is tough to exclude.
