For argument's sake I am curious who would you rank as your top 10 3yr olds this decade?

not sure, have never made a list of horses. but rest assured, mdo would not be on it. no horse that finishes behind volponi AND sarava would be worthy.

Okay, lol I see where this is leading. Then again, we could also say Milwaukee Brew, Evening Attire, Macho Uno, Dollar Bill, Hawk Wing, War Emblem, Harlan's Holiday, Came Home, E Dubai, Perfect Drift all finished behind Volponi.

just has always been my opinion that mdo could never seal the deal on a big day, which is why i don't consider him top ten in this decade-but i would probably put him in the top ten for that crop.

Afleet Alex is the horse on the list we didn't get to see enough of. if you really think about his races. wins the sanford, hopeful and arkansas derby. once clear in the derby, he is a Fast closing and very close 3rd. goes to his knees at the head of the stretch and still wins the preakness by 4-5. crushes the field in the belmont by 7-8.
