Wasn't Invasor like an October foal?
|
I was wrong, he was born in August, Bernardini in March. He had about seven months on Bernardini when they met.

I guess brown has to win the Belmont by 40 lengths and somehow post a beyer of 120 to get any respect. Nobody has come close to him yet. He won the Derby out of the 20th post. Toyed with the Preakness yet still dumbass Beyer doesn't like him. The Triple Crown is so hard to win especially today. If he does it he is a super horse.

For the last five years only, I'd go with:
3yo's only, non-sprinters 1-Smarty Jones 2-Bernardini 3-Curlin 4-Big Brown 5-Lion Heart 6-Afleet Alex 7-Barbaro 8-Street Sense 9-Flower Alley 10-Birdstone |
Lion Heart?
Oy vey. |

No Invasor?

Sorry, King, I just noticed "3 years old only".

If we go back eight years, I would like to see Fusaichi Pegasus and Sunday Break get their props. |
Sunday Break probably isn't one of the 1,800 best Japanese bred horses to race in the last eight years... so he was a fairly clever choice.
However, Fu Peg was a KEE July Select sales topper - raced only in America - and his lone connection with Japan was his owner. Poor choice. Fusaichi Samurai might have been better. Ski Captain being the most underrated dirt horse to race in America in the 90's might have been better played. |

Had Drysdale not treated him with kid gloves, he would have been more fit for the Wood, would have made the KY Derby field, and would have run down War Emblem. Lest anyone think I am serious, I'm not. It's sad that I need to say this. |

Yes, why allow reasonable thinking to get in the way of your myopic view. |

Maybe I just wasn't much of a Smarty Jones guy. I have a hard time putting him ahead of #s 2-8 on your list save Lion Heart and remember that he was only 1-1 against Birdstone. NT |

I'm assuming that you do realize that once upon a time, really good horses somehow managed to run numbers in the 120s relatively often. Easy Goer, for example, ran a 120 or better four times in his 3yo campaign. |
