I would put Einstein toward the top of my list. Crimson Comic faced Big Brown in his Maiden Race. He was highly touted back then.

Beating a highly touted maiden, who has done nothing, shouldn't have anything to do with this discussion.

I agree, it really doesn't.

I would probably put Asiatic Boy ahead of just about anyone Big Brown beat at this time.

Yes, but that doesn't really matter.

Actually it matters in this conversation since this is in regards to North American voting for HOY.

I thought you might say that..my understanding is that it involves US/North American based horses, not where they run. Curlin's race in Dubai counts as much as BB' in the US.

Anyone who knows differently, please correct me.
