Candy Ride had one great performance on dirt and one on turf ... part of being a great horse means coming back from big performances and repeating them.

Yeah, I know Bodemeister wasn't on THAT list, but you did put him on the other list. I didn't realize you changed your criteria from one list to the other though. My bad.

Also, part of being a great horse is being able to run races that nobody else can duplicate. I'd hardly call most of those horses on your list 'great'.

Maybe you meant to say something else instead of great, as the title of your thread would suggest.

Top thoroughbreds.

You are being silly if you really believe Candy Ride was not better than some of those you listed.

His Pacific Classic might be rated better than their best race.

He has no body of work though. Just an alw race, a good turf win, and a great effort on dirt in the Pac Classic.

Is Bo Jackson rated better than Emmit Smith?
