March Madness for Horses

[Stickhorse]

BloodHorse.com has just started a fun little contest to choose the "Greatest Thoroughbred of All-Time" contest. 32 paired names to start with, and you pick the fave of the 16 matchups they give you. You can try this link -- http://www.bloodhorse.com/march-into-may/Play.aspx but if that does not work, just go to BloodHorse.com and noodle around till you see the "March into May" header.
Just reading the bios for each horse is a treat.
But why include Alydar?
He was a good one but Affirmed was the superior one of that generation. Its not like Alydar was better sprinting or on the turf.
I feel very lucky to have seen Affirmed, Seattle Slew, Spectacular Bid, John Henry and Sunday Silence. I'll be rooting for them but the smart money will be on Secretariat to win it all.
