All of a sudden the editors from Bloodhorse...

To me, it seems like its just a list of the most memorable horses, not necessarily the best runners. The author doesn't make any claims to picking these horses strictly on race performance.

Instead, he's seemingly biased towards horses prominent in the media (of which Funny Cide and Pepper's Pride are good examples). In that respect, his list is fairly decent, if pointless at the same time.

Some more glaring errors:

Saint Liam was unraced at 3
High Chaparral was the only 2-time BC Turf winner (also he dead-heated with a horse named Johan).

I've seen far better work from far less important publications get TomoJay'd in brilliant fashion.

Fair enough. You follow other sports closely, so I'm sure you hold SI to higher standards. Once I saw the flubs I took the whole thing with a grain of salt.

Even if the choices were ridiculous, the commentary was unoffensive, which isn't the case with some of our more prominent turf writers.

Plus, I watched a whole afternoon of TVG so I've pretty much been browbeaten into cattle-like docility for the night.
