Exceller had a great career on both dirt and turf...

John Henry was perhaps the most accomplished.

Secretariat would be an obvious candidate. He certainly was a much better dirt horse than John Henry, and he had fantastic turf form.

Spectacular Bid?

All time great, no, but it makes me think of Barbaro for some reason. Damn.

[Alabama Stakes]

Big Brown was awesome on both.

I see now. Both surfaces.

How about Lava Man?

His win in the Whittingham on turf might have been is greatest race.

Not in the conversation for "the best in the last 50 years," but in more recent memory Einstein was no slouch.

How could you read the thread starter and NOT know what the guy was looking for?

It's embarrassing, really.

It was an honest mistake. Didn't read the thread starter all the way though. I'm imposing a two year bowl ban and taking away 9 scholarships from myself.

I swear you wait in your jammies and check every day for the once in six months I post something so you can say something mean.

That seems pathetic and embarrassing to me.

Check back in April for your next " tee hee " opportunity.
