And as I recall, Nashua was the all time leading $$ winner for a great number of years.

I think from retirement, until Spectacular Bid passed him.

If my memory is correct, I think that's a metric that should put Nashua in the group, for certain.

And Spectacular Bid is certainly on my list with 26 wins, 2 places and a show in 30 starts.
