Ok, so assuming he's Italian, name the three best.

No idea.

However, I thought you'd be the only person interested to know that Salvator has been one of the all-time most successful thoroughbred names. There is...

* Salvator (foaled in 1872 in France) 7-for-7 lifetime and won six important stakes that are still run today including the French Derby and Grand Prix de Paris.

* Salvator (foaled in 1886 in California) 16-for-19 lifetime -- in US Racing Hall of Fame. Two-time Horse of the Year. Considered by some as the "horse of the century"

* Salvator (foaled in 1994 in Slovakia) Group 1 flat and hurdle winner in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Italy

Not to mention a Salvatore that is a multiple Group stakes winner in New Zeland in 2010. A Group 1 winner in Turkey in 2007. And a Group 1 winner in Chile in 1997.

Riveting, I know. http://www.pedigreequery.com/salvatore4
