I will restrict this to just horses of our lifetime(we are about the same age) b/c otherwise the list would just be too long of horses that were better than the ones you listed.

Slew O'Gold
Holy Bull
Easy Goer
Skip Away
Hansel
Best Pal
Risen Star
Gate Dancer
Congaree
MDO

if you want to talk about Native Dancer and Nasua, well, there are plenty of others if you want to go far back in history.

Holy Bull, Easy Goer, Skip Away, Risen Star, Hansel 100% agreed but Medaglia D'oro & Congaree you'er kidding right ?
Point Given is a must with Empire Maker and AAlex

No,
not kidding.

MDO just ran into some real good horses and other not so good horses who freaked on one particular day.
watch his races again and you will see a very good 9/10f horse.

Congaree might be the best dirt miler not named Ghostzapper since Holy Bull.
if 8f were a more important dirt distance, we would think of him as an all time great.
