Maybe I am biased because this is the era that i grew up watching, but I'm going to say the 1980's:

Alysheba, Blushing John, Bold 'n Determined, Capote, Chiefs Crown, Conquistador Cielo, Cozzene, Devil's Bag, Easy Goer, Ferdinand, Forty Niner, Genuine Risk, Glorious Song, Groovy*, Gulch, John Henry, Lady's Secret, Manila, Miesque, Open Mind, Outstandingly, Personal Ensign, Pleasant Colony, Precisionist, Relaxing, Rhythm, Princess Rooney, Risen Star, Safely Kept, Spend a Buck, Steinlen, Sunday Silence, Theatrical, Winning Colors.

*earned beyer speed figures of 133 and 132 for his 1987 6f's of 108.2 and 107.4

pre- figure of course

Quite an impressive list.. and I am sure to have left a few off.

The 1970's had it's share as well.. bold forbes, foolish p, forego, ruffian, slew, secretariat, davona dale, alydar, the bid, ta wee, etal
