This is a great thread. I have followed the sport since the 60's and it's good to know that people appreciate the thoroughbreds that ran more than once a month and faced fields larger than 4 or 5 other horses. A couple of months ago, when Bernardinimania was rampant, some posters suggested that he be considered among the greats or would soon be. Looking at some of the figures you folks are posting should make people realize what it really takes for a horse to be considered great and the horses and races that stick in your mind and make you appreciate the sport.
