I'm really surprised anyone even responded to that list.

It was lame beyond anything even RHTPG1985 could have done.

That list is actually a pretty clever troll job in my opinion.
Very tough crop in 1715

The ancient horses get extra credit because they raced at longer distances. As great as Secretariat was, he was unproven at four miles.

I can defend the list pretty easily, whether you choose to accept my positions is another matter. As I stated in my original post...ranking horses is a subjective venture whether for HOY or all time.

What is the basis for Point Given being so much lower on the list than Holy Bull?

I would have to rank Skip Away over Silver Charm
Smarty Jones was a better racehorse than Storm Cat
Bucks Boy maybe the best IL bred

Zenyatta is better than Easy Goer? Cigar? Ghostzapper? Point Given?

How about just the females since 1976. Go For Wand and Open Mind would have eaten her for lunch. Lady's Secret, Princess Rooney, Winning Colors, Genuine Risk, Silverbulletday, Life's Magic, Heavenly Prize, Serena's Song, Personal Ensign, Bayakoa, Paseana, Inside Information, Azeri....


I wont include Rachel for obvious reasons but the female horses I listed above were just as good or better than Zenyatta since 1976.

Now just think if I listed male horses.
I have a really hard time ranking Z and Im one of her biggest fans, literally biggest. Just talking recent horses, Im not sure Z could have beat Point Given, Bernardini, Ghostzapper, Candy Ride, Congaree, Eskendereya and even Comentator when he was really good.
