Some great inclusions in there Doug...
Challedon is a horse not nearly enough people know about. Gun Bow another that whose praises aren't sung enough. Devil Diver merits an honorable mention in the 40's, no? And what do you do in a survey like this with my favorite, Gallorette?

As I mentioned in an earlier thread today, Gallorette was a multi-GI winner against males in two distinctly different disciplines...as a six year old mare. And she was beating HOF'ers to boot. Is there even a modern-day equivalent to that?
ETA - how awesome were the fillies/mares from 1944-1948 or so? Three legit hall of famers on the track at the same time.

Quote:
Gallorette was easily one of the great race mares of all-time - and she faced a lot of strong male competition at several points - but her case for inclusion isn't very good unless you're graded fillies and mares on a curve - in which case, she's a total shoe-in for inclusion.
