Wayne, The ones I've seen in person, in most cases, that impressed me, in no particular order, were: 1. Event of The Year, before the injury. 2. Onion, who beat Secretariat while I watched and cheered and nearly got lynched. 3. The other horse in that race with Onion. <g> 4. Louis Quatorze, who beat every horse except the absolute best and looked so danged good doing it. 5. Chorwon, a gray allowance weed runner who comes from so far behind that every race he runs is exciting. 6. Freehouse, who wants to win so danged bad. 7. John Henry, but only on tv. Never got to see him in person, but what an impressive old coot he was. 8. One I've never seen but whom I respect immensely for his apres race vigor, Mr. Prospector. <g> If you ever see a card without a Mr. Prospector descendant in it, something is wrong with your program. He found a job he liked and has been doing it well long after most horses are dead. At least I hope he is still horse at work. Last I heard he was 28 years old and still standing to stud. 9. James Prospect, a knockaround cheap claimer who always seems to run better than you think he would. 10. Kool Kue Baby. She is a quarter horse and I am certain you meant breds, but I had to put her in. She was purchased for a mule, two chickens and a goat and has won a million dollars. I've seen her beaten a few times, mostly by Lawyer La Jolla, but she has guts. There is another half a million bucks winner who was taken in trade for the owner roofing a guy's house. Quarter horses are different. <g>
