    In what terms are you asking (breeding, racing, etc)? I certainly don't know it all but will share my opinion when this is a little clearer.

                                    People think that because he won 17 races in a row. However Mineshaft won 7 of 9 aginst better competion in 2003. Also Cigars beyer ratings were that great for going to the whip hard. Mineshaft on the other hand had beyers in the 116-117 range when being hand ridden most of the time.

                                      You can make an argument for both, they were great horses

                                        im not going to defend myself attending a preseason game or not. i went. beer is different depending on which type you buy, for instance corona is cheaper than any other beer at qualcomm, which is odd.

                                          Thanks for clearing it up. Might be off for/in the years portion but one of the more recent ones was Skip Away. Others include Cigar and Kona Gold. To me the best horse of all time is Citation just a nose ahead of Seattle Slew.

                                            If Big Brown wins his next race then the Breeders Cup Classic.
                                            He would get my vote.

                                                      Cigar was the last super horse were going to see. A racehorse doesnt start to hit there prime until at least 5 years old. Nowadays, if they show any promise as a 3 year old, they are retired and hit the stud shed by the time their 4 th birthday rolls around. Cigar won 16 races in a row, not to mention carrying the high weight in almost all those races. One of my greatest sports days as a spectator was watching him get beat at Del Mar for the Pacific Classic, and the ending of the win streak.

                                                            I did some more thinking about this and came up with Giant's Causeway and Tiznow.
