Buckpasser was a better horse than RA. More popular among folks who inhabit the Internet in 2012? No.
Holy Bull VS Bold Forbes is fascinating. Similar style, similar ability, BF was a dual Classic winner despite his run-off speed, but Holy Bull was great after he failed to fire in the Derby. I'd take Bold Forbes as a 3yo over Seattle Slew, but probably give a slight edge to Holy Bull and certainly he was the more popular horse of the two.

Spectacular Bid fails to make the sweet 16. He is eliminated in round 2. Considering how well females have done, I was surprised he got by Genuine Risk in round 1.
Zenyatta is going to own Dr. Fager in the next round. The two Cinderella horses, 14-seed Citation  and 14-seed Bold Ruler have both scored 2nd round wins. Citation looks to pull off another massive upset when he takes on Cigar in round #3.Personal Ensign is the last survivor of the horses to race in the 80's ... Spectacular Bid, Easy Goer, Sunday Silence, John Henry, Alysheba, etc have all fallen.

If those yahoos get to choose between Native Dancer and the "dancer," you know who they'll chose.

it's the facebook generation...
the grey ghost was incredibly popular in his day. he stood out in the days of black and white television. but, popular now doesn't exactly mean talented. how else can you explain paris hilton and snookie?

Zenyatta wins the whole thing in hand. I would like to know the % of voters of male vs female, because from what I have seen it is like 75%/25% in the females favor.

Rachel could pull it off. The announcement of her foal's name has to be worth a few votes.

If young horse racing fans can't appreciate Dr. Fager - especially with YouTube availability of his races - this sport is doomed.
