I hear ya ... but at least Beautiful Pleasure was a very good horse.

Yeah - Sightseek was one of a few mares that Frankel trained this decade that was a much better horse than Ginger Punch. Amazing she was left off.

Wild Spirit ... my favorite Frankel female (who Kaspet somehow excluded from an old poll about favorite Frankel females I see) was also much better than Ginger Punch.

I think the editors are either on crack or just drew names from a hat.

No candy ride, mdo or...Congaree?

any of those was better than street sense. Congaree deserves more credit than he gets. He had a great career and was a fine racehorse.

Yeah, the list was pretty retarded.

Candy Ride was probably the best horse of the decade, male, female, turf or dirt.

The Blood Horse 11 (throw out LITF) all race in October at Belmont going 9 furlongs. Scale weights. Afleet Alex, Barbaro, Bernardini, Point Given, Smarty Jones, and Street Sense are all 3yos. For the rest, take your pick of their best season.
Who wins?

Point Given probably. Assuming everyone is of sound mind and body.

Wouldn't be surprised by a Barbaro win though.

I think they all have a lovely view of Ghostzapper's behind the entire way.

I don't know ...

But I would absolutely unload on a Riboletta-Sightseek exacta going 9fs against those 12 females at Belmont.

Sightseek was a machine at Belmont as well.
