This is very tricky because we must weigh TC races heavily, but after that how much weight. Obviously the BC... beating older horses... and then are we counting sprinters. So I stuck with the longer horses. And then the tough part about one or two great races and no more but good progeny, it all gets in the way. The order at the top I like, but after that move em around.

Spectacular Bid
Point Given
Affirmed
Sunday Silence
Skip Away
Tiznow
Smarty Jones
Alysheba
Real Quiet
Silver Charm
Thunder Gulch
Easy Goer
Unbridled
AP Indy
Alydar
Holy Bull
Curlin
Funny Cide
Hansel
Afleet Alex

pound away...

LMFAO

I probably would have spent all night adding horses if it were the past 30 years.

Have you been alive for 30 years...?
The 70's were loaded. So I just happened upon 1977...
If earlier I would have been in real trouble.
What time is it?

Not quite. Easy Goer was the horse who got me into racing (I was almost 9.) Still, I didn't have to see The Bid in person to know that he was a great horse... thank heavens for video.

So instead of naming the top 25 in the last 20 years, you named the top 20 in the last 30 years.
That makes Hansel's inclusion on your list even more strange.

This is correct.
This is exactly what I did.

And if you only find Hansel strange
then I really must have fkd up...

btw, I see you guys have gotten underway
at school. Hope all gets back to normal soon.
