Is This Really the Best We Have?

Once you get beyond the top 7 on that list you could pretty much throw whatever garbage you want in the last three spots.

Thanks for displaying a voice of reason on this topic. We're LUCKY to have had two horses in Lava Man and Invasor that have been dominant in the older horse division. There isn't a need to spread the wealth in top 10 list because, after the first 2, it's all scraps anyway. LM and Invasor are great for the sport, have interesting stories behind their success, and are fun to watch. Who could ask for anything more?

I agree. Having 2 horses like Invasor and Lava Man, not to mention one of the most potentially talented 3 year olds in a very long time is good enough.
Sun King has proved to be a worthy competitor and one of these days will get a huge win. Surf Cat was pretty awesome but I doubt will ever see him in a race that matters. If you like seeing him beat 3 horses than hes your guy. I'd rather root for horses like Lava Man.

Certianly not SC's and Headley's fault they don't show up to run against him..

Mike Watchmaker usually makes sense, but he lapses occasionally. TEAMMATE should be on the Top Ten Three-Year-Old Fillies list! I thought he picked her to win big races and she lost, so maybe he is letting his annoyance influence his list.
