Some people wouldn't know a joke if it walked up to them and slapped them silly.
Am I right to assume that every time you've ever heard a knock-knock joke, you have gotten up in the middle of it and answered your front door?

i agree with you 100% . you were joking about bernardini earlier. the whole list has only 2 that are worth a vote. man o'war or secretariat. with curlin approaching them , maybe. but as i said in previous post man of war was 20 for 21. these horses can't even sustain a career like this. its rare for them to even get 20 starts. which points to the whole breeding/drug mess!

You may be involved with the next poll with that remark

Some of you folks need to take a big step back and lighten up...and the author of this thread needs to add Straight Man to the list.

Please vote people. I give you the fact that Funny Cide does have a win at Finger Lakes under his belt. For him to only be tied with Big Brown at this point is disgraceful.

The people have spoken. Secretariat was an easy winner with man O war running second. Tapit was a clear third.
