Thanks, it's nice to know someone is reading a Californian's posts at 1:00AM Eastern Time....


I have a signed and numbered portrait (I love) of Secretariat to my left in this room, noting Princequillo in his immediate lineage. I erroneously jumped to the "brother" conclusion upon also noting Princequillo with Round Table and his lineage.

Thanks for the good catch.


And, sincere thanks for the stats on Round Table.


Very impressive.

It is limited to horses who ran in the Derby.Otherwise Man O War would top the list and Native Dancer,Alydar,Bold Ruler and Easy Goer would be the only horses considered on the current list.

How about Damascus? No way he's not near the top of that list.

Good one. More evidence that the list is flawed.

problem is, they wanted to include modern horses on the list, so it's already a flawed poll.

Best Pal had a pretty good career after the Triple Crown was over. He should be up there.
