What the Horse Racing Nation is talking about...

In your opinion, who is/was the most underrated (yet proven) racehorse of all time?

  • Buckpasser · Cocoa. I completely agree with your list particularly Gun Bow. He gave Kelso the greatest challenge he faced in my opinion. Years later his nice daughter Pistol Packer was a major star in Europe · 52 minutes ago ·

  • Buckpasser · Regret was not only dominant but her running in the Derby helped popularize the race. For a number of years, the Eastern racing elite scorned the Derby. Matt Winn convinced Whitney to run his top filly, Regret in the Derby. Her entrance in the race and subsequent victory helped to popularize the race and end the ostracism of the race by the Eastern Elite. Years later when Matt Winn was asked who the greatest race mare he ever saw was, he always said "Regret, now there was a real race mare." High praise indeed. · 16 seconds ago ·

  • LennyGeorge · At a mile Shanghai Bobby and Orb beat him and in the preakness the track beat Orb he worked in 47 before the race and could not fire of a almost 49???? No way belmont's surface will be different and so will the outcome as long as Orb checks out ok · 8 minutes ago ·

  • MRGVstables · Orb. His whole body of work this year is better than any other 3 year old. Oxbow ran a great Preakness and LeComte but besides that not much. Orb beat Revolutionary and Verazzano on the big stage and Mylute is consistent but you gotta win to be the best. A really good crop of 3's but with his wins in the FoY, Florida Derby, and Kentucky Derby it's hard to vote against Orb. But we still have the Belmont, Haskell, and Travers to figure this all out plus the breeders cup! Good summer of racing ahead! · 3 minutes ago ·

One of my my favorite Studs. Solid and dependable, if I had a mare I think he would be my first choice.
just wondering? where did all the loyal D.Wayne Lukas fans who trashed him prior to the triple crown series go to and hide.they made it seem as though he actually forgot how to train.as a friend of mine and a very classy trainer. J J Toner always tells me. "you would be amazed how top of the shelf horses make you such a better trainer "

  • Dressage3295 · It just takes a truly special horse to win the TC. When a TC winner does come along, I can only hope that they earn the honor · 2 hours ago ·

  • likin sparks · I wish I could put the size of the field debate to rest but there will always be a whatif? The way I see it for the horses that won the TC even in a 19 or 20 horse field I would have little doubt it would make a difference, they were just that damn good and kept proving after the TC was over. Back then the breeding was't so hosed up and the horses were not exposed to all the doping as todays. · 50 minutes ago ·

i didn't know anything about her until Brian's blog. sounds like a GREAT & promising filly.
Orb may not be the immortal everyone thought him to be, but one loss at the hands of a bad post takes nothing away from him. He can still be great.Read More

i just read on another site that pletcher may be pointing unlimited budget towards the belmont stakes.first let me say,todd will forget more about horse racing than i or all fans will ever learn.i get it,you have to be in it to win it.i could see when rachel ran in the preakness.she destroyed her competition.i could see when todd ran rags to riches.she defeated her competition.unlimited finished a weak 3rd in the oaks going a shorter distance.she did not dominate her competition.yes ,previously she did run very good.but the caliber was not as strong.it almost seems as though todd has so many 3 yo fillies coming up to a race,that he is trying to keep them apart at all costs.when you run a horse in a G1 stake.any horse,you are doing it with the confidence that you can win or at worst finish at least 3rd.that being the case,what is todd telling you about revolutionary ,overanalyze or any other colt he might point to the belmont.he is telling you that a filly who could not beat her own gender ,has just as good a shot at hitting the board as his top colts.personally,not to comforting.
