top 10 of 2006
 

there seems to be bad news all round regarding horse racing at the moment. So I thought I'd remember all the good horses that have run this year. Well here's IMO the top 10 horses that have raced this year in alphabetical order.

Barbaro
Bernardini
Deep Impact
Discreet Cat*
George Washington
Invasor*
Ouija Board
Pride
Rail Link*
Teofilo*

the asteriks means??

Remaining in training perhaps?

Showing Up
Pleasant Tap has been a nice surprise
Go Deputy had a super year although overused at the end

was getting carried away with myself for some reason. the dream lives on with those who have an *..

Considering he finished off the board in two consecutive claiming races in 2005, Miesque's Approval's 2006 record earns him a spot- albeit at the bottom- on that list, IMO.

Barbaro
Bernardini
Deep Impact
Dreaming of Anna
Invasor
Lava Man
Ouija Board
Premium Tap
Rail Link
Showing Up

Dreaming of Anna #4....

No Discreet Cat?

That would be awfully tough to explain....


My top five would feature Discreet Cat #1. Bernardini, Invasor, Barbaro, and Deep Impact would round it out.

Oh, alphabetical order....my reading comprehension skills suck sometimes.

Repent

How easly we forget Wait Awhile

she was on my list, but then i erased for the tin man.

Gorella should be included in the list despite her disappointment in the Breeders' Cup. And she is definately No. 1 on the list of most exciting horses of the year. That lady keeps me in suspense!
