I thought Cigar made it. Dam now the list is even worse than I thought. I hate this BS Best of List. Could the teams of the 30's beat today world Series winners? Are they the Best of All Time. At least in other Sports teams make the All Time list that even a 10 yearold could say he saw them play. I'm not saying all of the old timer's couldn't run but come on not a one since the Late 70's early 80's. Hell that's over 30 years ago.

Don't know about Mineshaft that much only saw him run in person once. What about some of the other's Curlin, Zapper, Point Given. I think alot of horses would've had a better record only going against 12 others in the Derby instead of the stampede they have now. A good record means nothing to me in today's racing.
