Thread hijack here...but I feel like if Bravazo was in Baffert’s barn, he’d really be a serious racehorse. He’s got some heart and sure seems like he wants to run all day.

Does he win the 2003 BCC over MDO and Congaree? In my opinion, both of those are well out of California Chrome’s league.

Great discussion topic!

1) Point Given - should have been Triple Crown winner, "what if " as an older horse.
2) Arrogate - he HATED Del Mar, other than that BRILLANT!
3) Justify - accomplished more than ANY horse did in only a short time.
4) Silver Charm - his career speaks for itself, maybe Bob's best.
5) American Pharoah - I know, he won the Triple Crown ..... his Belmont & Breeder's Cup were a "cake walk"
6) Real Quiet - most unlucky "possible" TC winner, honest career as older horse.
7) Lookin At Lucky - he was good, but just a cut below Baffert's best.
8) Silverbulletday - his GREATEST filly, played her in the Belmont Stakes that year.
9) Congaree - another great runner, see LOOKIN AT LUCKY
10) War Emblem - GREAT private purchase, had it his own way in the Derby & Preakness.
11) Bayern - a very lucky Baffert runner, see WAR EMBLEM

My play (from your numbers listed) : 7/2/5 with 7/2/5/10 with 10/1/8 with 6/9/4/11/3

GREAT THREAD!

I wouldn't call Bayern lucky. His Woody Stephens was massive. His BCC was strong also.
