What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Busher...

The top females thoroughbreds are some of our favorite and most memorable. Zenyatta, Ruffian, Rachel Alexandra. Genuine Risk, Go For Wand and Personal Ensign. Twilight Tear, Gallorette and Regret. All time greats, every one of them. But who belongs in the top 10? Who belongs at the top? Jump on now ...Read More

  • New York Vinnie ยท cocoa2 - many will never forget Landaluce. Me included. She was a sweet, black coated two year old filly out of Seattle Slew that captivated the west, having won five races by almost 50 lengths. She won her first race in 1:08 then came back a week later and won a Grade 1 race by 21 lengths in 1:08:1. Her last three races as a two year included race run in 1:21, 1:35 and 1:41. Uncle Mo, on the other hand, ran a 1:34.6 and and 1:42 in a mile and a mile and a sixteenth, and was considered the second coming of Spectacular Bid and Seattle Slew. Landaluce will never be forgotten. ยท 112 days ago ยท

Top Ten Active HorsesHRN members have spoken - Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom is the top 3-year-old in the land, ranking #2 for the third straight week. He is the only 3-year- old, male or female, in the top 10. Belmont 4th-place finisher Nehro is the next highest-ranked 3-year-old, comin...Read More
1945 Horse of the Year..wow. She was also best 3yo filly, best 3yo of either sex and best handicap filly or mare. Of 21 starts; 15 wins, 3 seconds and 1 third. She was awesome!
 This week's Top 10 has an international flair, with 3 foreign stars getting your votes. Goldikova, the French-based miler, retains the top spot. In 4th is Black Caviar, the Australian champion sprinter who is undefeated in 13 starts. Black Caviar is a five-year-old mare who smokes th...Read More
Zenyatta or Rachel Alexandra? Ruffian or Personal Ensign? Or maybe Gallorette or Goldikova? HRN asks you, who is the greatest female horse of all-time???Read More

  • timgsmith10 ยท Rachel Alexandra had a much better season than either of Zenyatas last 2. If you look at the stats on Goldikova vs Zenyatta . Goldikova has a much stronger record. ยท 358 days ago ยท

Amidst all the hoopla surrounding Zenyattaโ€™s retirement and the speculation regarding the identity of her first mate, last yearโ€™s Horse of the Year has been all but forgotten. Yet Rachel Alexandra also occupied a unique place in racing history, and her broodmare career should be of some interest.Fou...Read More

One of the things I avoid on this site is ranking the merits of horses across eras. Racing has changed enough over the years that most such comparisons are useless. Read More
