Cajun,
I am not one of Smarty's biggest fans....but not even in the top 25?
I would certainly take him over Summer Squall.

Oh wait....never mind Smarty.....I just noticed that you don't have Risen Star on your list.
He is a must as far as I am concerned.

I will get blasted from here to high kingdom if I post how I felt about Smarty (but here you go anyway)... sure, he was a nice horse, but IMO that crop left a lot to be desired. His 2nd place finish in the Belmont was one of the most hard trying races I've ever seen a colt put himself through, but other than that, I just have a hard time including him.

You won't get blasted by me about Smarty Jones.
He wouldn't be in my top ten, but I am a little shocked to not see him in a top 25.
Truth be told, I thought about including Birdstone in my list but he was a last minute cut. I think he is one of the most underappreciated horses of the last decade. People act like his win that day was a complete fluke when really, on a dry track going 10f or beyond, he was a pretty good colt.


But, let's not turn this thread into yet another one about that race.
