I just don't see what Russell Baze riding Gary Stevens has to do with this particular topic. To each his own I guess.

Going back to 1940, there have been some good ones, but Native Dancer has got to top the list. Also Damascus, Nashua, Bimelech, Little Current, Risen Star, Point Given, Afleet Alex, Tobasco Cat, Hansel, and Capot all won the Preakness and Belmont.

Point Given may have given Holy Bull a little tussle, but the Bull was so much better than the other two, they don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.

are f*cking kidding me? I like all 3 of those, but come on. 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

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. Repent
