Tim,

I absolutely loved Gander. Gorgeous as it gets, and the Med Cup(I think) one year was one of the best races I've seen in person in my life. 3 horse photo went to Gander and he held them off the length of the stretch. Simply a race I'll never forget.

KZ Bay- won the Lady Canterbury Stakes at 33-1 back in '96. Died in '99. She was a Turf gamer.

Crocrock- One of the best sprinters that Canterubry has even seen. Died breaking a leg after winning a 6f race at Prairie Meadows. He also was a gamer.

Perfect Drift- It'll be the culmination of a great career when he blows the tote board to China on BC day.

St Liam- The only horse to ever even hang with Ghostzapper. That goes far in my book.

Ghoztzapper- Freaknasty. Bernardini could romp in the Classic by 20 lengths, and I'd still think Ghostzapper would beat him. I've only been watching horse racing regularly for 10 years, and he's the best I've seen in that time.

Yup. He won the Meadowlands Cup. His greatest win. Held very respectably in the highest competition throughout his career.

This is not a listing of the best horses to have raced - it is about which horses we, personally, would like to be around. Big difference.

for only five.......

Omar Bunny
Star Over the Bay
Shamrock (first horse I ever rode)
Ruffian
Belle's Good Cide (because I love her son)

OK, I'll add my 2 cents:

1. Cass O'le (did ya think my #1 would be anyone else?)
2. Annivel (horse I learned to ride on and the sweetest mare you could ever meet.)
3. Secretariat
4. Ruffian

And as my the saying goes "God forbid that I go to a heaven where there are no horses".
