Down to Six...
 

Nashoba's Key's accident means that there are now only six active horses that have won three or more Grade I races - Lava Man, Curlin, Ginger Punch, Einstein, Precious Kitten and Big Brown.

(EDIT: 7 - I missed Kip Deville)

That's a pretty good summary of the problems facing the game right now. You can't sell a sport without stars.

damn not even Perfect Drift? How many has he won?

And I thought the problems were more about takeout, and signals and poor technology. :rolleyes:

One - the 2003 Stephen Foster.

*solemn nod*

Fix those, and it won't even matter if the horses have names. A billion people will watch the Breeders' Cup, just to see the takeout levels.

Tiago. SA Derby, Goodwood, Oaklawn

Grade I, Grade II, Grade II.

Kip Deville.

Not that it matters but the Goodwood was a Grade 1 last year.

BC Mile, '08 Maker's Mark.. The Maker's Mark was a G2 last year. Am I forgetting one?

That's pretty funny.

Yeah, the Kilroe last year.

It could have been worse....Student Council could have won....and then with 8 Grade 1 winners around racing would be flourishing.

I'm trying very, very hard to avoid working Zanjero into this thread somehow.
