So lets have a poll shall we?
I say that the majority of people in the game deem Pletcher, Frankel, and Mandella as greats. What say you everyone?

Besides that, you must be an older guy. This game has changed and does not revolve around teh Derby. It revolves around the Breeders Cup. It is taht day that decides champions!!

They are greats but not immortals. As for the game, it will always revolve around the derby. How many people know Ghostzapper outside of racing? None. Secretariat, Barbaro, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, are all household names because they are derby winners that were great horses. There is not one person in the industry that would rather win a BC Classic than a Derby. Not one.
