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

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.

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.

I can't believe that Showing Up and Lava Man were not on the original list. And like someone else said, Premium Tap should be on the list as well. He's turned into a fun horse to watch.

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!
