5) Big Daddy Ray. Runs on 10/10/06 in the 7th at Finger Lakes. 15-1 ml.
He got me into this. Still handsome. Just like me. I'm ageless.
Their memories will always live in my heart.

Why risk not seeing Big Daddy in heaven... why not catch him at Finger Lakes in the 7th tomorrow instead?

Tim,

I absolutely loved Gander. Gorgeous as it gets, and the Med Cup(I think) one year was one of the best races I've seen in person in my life. 3 horse photo went to Gander and he held them off the length of the stretch. Simply a race I'll never forget.

KZ Bay- won the Lady Canterbury Stakes at 33-1 back in '96. Died in '99. She was a Turf gamer.

Crocrock- One of the best sprinters that Canterubry has even seen. Died breaking a leg after winning a 6f race at Prairie Meadows. He also was a gamer.

Perfect Drift- It'll be the culmination of a great career when he blows the tote board to China on BC day.

St Liam- The only horse to ever even hang with Ghostzapper. That goes far in my book.

Ghoztzapper- Freaknasty. Bernardini could romp in the Classic by 20 lengths, and I'd still think Ghostzapper would beat him. I've only been watching horse racing regularly for 10 years, and he's the best I've seen in that time.

Yup. He won the Meadowlands Cup. His greatest win. Held very respectably in the highest competition throughout his career.

This is not a listing of the best horses to have raced - it is about which horses we, personally, would like to be around. Big difference.

If there aren't any animals there, I am not staying.
But if there are and I am worthy of going to heaven
there are too many to name and I know you asked
for only five.......

Omar Bunny
Star Over the Bay
Shamrock (first horse I ever rode)
Ruffian
Belle's Good Cide (because I love her son)
Seabiscuit and Pumpkin

and the list goes on and on!

Arromanches.....Gander was that the horse that caused the big brouhaha at the Spa? Wasn't he like 33 wide at the finish? Refresh me.

Oh I WILL!!!
The story is long...I've been with this one since he was two.
And when he retires, he'll come back to the farm to live out his days.
Just wanted to give you a "heads up"...he had a nice 4 f gate work a few days ago...breezed in 48.2.
Look for the blue silks with the big white "V".
Good luck!
