2003 was the glory year for older males for going long ... you don't realize realize quite how spectacular they were until you see what followed them up and what was just before them.

The 3-year-old males are a brutal group to rate. A good case could be made for anyone of seven or eight.

Good to have you back DrugS.

No Randy Moss?

Well done list, but War Pass was the best 2-year-old male of the decade? No mention of Vindication?

Good thing you gave a :tro: of some kind to Barbaro Doug... As it is you've targeted yourself for death threats from the 'FOB' with the 3yo awards...

Mineshaft older male....Nothing else matters.

What is this a Frankel tribute list? A lot of Frankel's

Riboletta's best races rival any of the females in this decade....Easily better than Azeri.

should Saint Liam be in there?

The Sonny Bono of horses.

What factors made you choose the horses you did over the others?

he was skiing when he fell too?

Both hit trees.

Ridiculous.

Picking 4 horses out of 10 total?

For a minute, I thought this was the "Selections" forum...

older female Bewitching Eyes 129-18-17-13 $267,802 winner at 12.
older sprinter Say Florida Sandy 98-33-17-12 $2,085,408

I'm pretty sure more than 10 horses ran this past decade..

Best FL bred?


Best Cal Bred?


Best NY Bred?


Best to have raced in New Mexico at least once?

You might be right about that. I thought he was going off Eclipse winners only.

i think invasor should be there before congaree or mdo.

I agree to an extent but Congaree was one tough SOB. He will never be remembered among the best of the past decade because he didn't have a signature win but he won 10 graded stakes races including Grade I's ranging in distance from 7fs to 10fs.
