Hey, even so called experts have a hard time with rankings. Hasn't anyone seen the first round of the Watchmaker Watch?

The problem with this poll is that at least experts know about and have heard about the majority of horses listed. You would think that many of the other people voting probably haven't seen or even heard of at the least %20 of the field. Hence it becomes a popularity contest for many of the people voting.

I agree with this.
I don't think there's anything wrong in holding polls for fans to vote in if it's realistically titled. Alot of people like to do that kind of thing, look at all the polls we have here.
BUT, maybe it should be retitled Top 250 Most Popular Thoroughbreds of All-Time voted on by the fans...Who do you love?
It would be more realistic that way.
