zxswordxz · Here we go again....I'd go with Goldikova but if I have to own one of them, it just might be Zenyatta because I would campaign her differently. · 360 days ago ·

xMystix · Oh boy...this will turn out to be more of a popularity contest rather than people actually researching all the horses on the list to familiarize themselves with the great female racers of the past. I'm afraid people will vote with their emotions rather than with their brains. There's nothing wrong with going with what's in your heart, but one also has to look at all the facts at an objective perspective, not a subjective one. This should get interesting. · 360 days ago ·

crosseyedlemon · In my opinion the really great athletes are able to transend their sport and reach people on the outside who don't necessarily count themselves as fans. Muhammed Ali did that in boxing, Pele did it in soccer and Zenyatta did it in horse racing. · 360 days ago ·

xMystix · I actually agree with you TimSmith. As much as it is fun to have a friendly objective and practical debate about horse racing's greatest horses, it also disgusts me how people actually argue about them, and then go on to trash said horses. The way some people are about certain horses actually have made me turn a bit sour towards some horses, especially with the way some of their fans are always out to belittle others. Debating horses of the modern day with the ones of the past will always bring intrigue and awesome discussions, but as of late, some debates have turned into flamming posts. Everyone has an opinion, but honestly, people need to calm down. I love to debate, but I've stopped because I can't stand the viciousness of people. · 360 days ago ·

dubby30 · You know terminology used does tend to have a legitimate affect on how things are viewed, the term trash, hate, hater, bash, all of these words are used and taken way out of context considering that due to the first amendment everyone has the right to voice their opinion, some do it in an eloquent way that elicits respect, take for instance BrianZ. He is objective and puts his opinion out there for all to see, others who may not be able to come across the same way give an opinion and its considered bashing. Unfortunately the truth or factual information may be difficult for some to digest. If facts are presented on a consistent basis, please recognize that this is not bashing. If a person were to state that in their opinion the horse was no good, that is one to be taken as it is, that’s bashing, but overall, stop with the overly sensitive talk and recognize that presenting facts are afforded to us by this forum and many others across the net. Toughen up a bit and take straight forward facts as what they are. Facts. And if you don’t like them send a rebuttal with facts of your own. · 360 days ago ·

woodbinemile · Not sure a list is even needed. Just enjoy each champion for what they did for the sport. @ crosseyedlemon- Smarty did the same thing in 2004. There are MANY horses that brought thousands of new fans in over the decades, not just Zenyatta. I am interested to see this list, I personally would have Zarkava on Top Which I am sure Many will disagree with. Cheers · 360 days ago ·

xMystix · Dubby30, I am tough. In fact, I love to debate and discuss a topic of interest to view everyone's facts on the matter. Because that is how you learn more. But all I want to see and/ or hear is the facts. Yes, it's nice to see everyone's emotional side on the matter, but what I don't like is when people belittle others. I've seen enough flaming comments on the internet to recognize who is a hater and who isn’t (and I’m not just talking about comments on here, but everywhere else that is not a horse racing site, too). There is, too, the factor of how, like what you said, people present themselves, so the utilization of social tact is also an important factor to consider. Another thing to point out is how one reads another’s post, too. In my post below, I was by no means condoning the use of telling one's opinion. I have fallen victim to people trying to belittle me, even when I do present facts, straight and true, ever so trying to keep my wits about me. But one can’t always and continuously keep their cool. Unfortunately, sometimes, even when you do present the facts, people go about with the name calling. One cannot argue with a child. I like facts; I drink it in. That's why I mostly observe, and read, read, READ. And that is why I like reading blogs, like this one. Even if they are opinion pieces, sometimes I come across ones that I entirely disagree on, so then, I go research on what they talked about, to see further into the truth. I’m a curious person. Since I’m not a knowledgeable veteran of the sport, but rather a young person who fell in love with racing at an even younger age ten years ago, I try my honest hardest to learn more. I respect people who have an opinion, but I respect those more that have an opinion resulting from having a veteran-like experience in the sport. What you say is true, but like in my first post below, I was giving a bit of advice so that people can take a chance at discovering other horses that would not be recognizable to today’s generation, because every one of them deserves respect, since every one of them have transcended and impacted the sport in a different way. I also said at the end of that post that this should get interesting, meaning it will be interesting to see the end results, because with each passing age, the generations view things differently. Just like when I opined that this shouldn’t be a popularity contest, which I’m afraid it will be, it should also be interesting how things present themselves. There is a difference between opinion (which is supported and backed by facts) and flaming (which people often mistakenly call it as their own opinion when in fact it isn’t and go about belittling others to make themselves feel more superior); thereby, everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not to flaming. Thank you for letting me to take the opportunity to clarify myself. I sincerely respect all that you have written here on HRN, and even agree with a lot of things you have said. But forgive me for being a bit shy and wary on this subject. I am still trying to learn more about horse racing. I look forward to more of your opinions on the sport as it will further increase my knowledge, as well as get a different perspective on things. · 360 days ago ·

racingrooter · First, I am going to separate out the mares that ran exclusively on grass from the mares that ran exclusively on dirt/synth. I really don't know how you can compare the two. When I'm done here, I'll list what I believe to be the best grass mares with which I'm familiar, with the hugh caveat that I know nothing about the Japanese mares, and little about the European mares that didn't run over here. · 360 days ago ·

racingrooter · Well, I wanted to go to a new paragraph, but I guess that caused my first paragraph to be entered. Sorry. Anyway, I've been watching the races for 50 years, so my rankings will cover that time period. 1. Zenyatta I think she's simply the best racing mare I've ever seen. 2. Personal Ensign. 3. Ruffian. 4. Rachel (probably had the best single year ever). 5. Gamely. 6. Azeri. 7. Lady's Secret. 8. Go For Wand. 9. Princess Rooney (vastly underrated in my view). 10. Inside Information (ditto). Now for the grass mares. 1. Goldikova. 2. All Along. 3. Miesque. 4. Royal Heroine (I'm prejudiced here - she's one of my all time favorites, and I think it's a crime that she's not in the Hall of Fame). 5. Waya. 6. Dahlia. 7. Ouija Board. 8. Miss Alleged. And I've probably forgotten some that belong here. · 360 days ago ·
