zxswordxz · Great compilation with these power horses. You don't see horses ran the amount of races these horses ran. These are the type of horses that make me love the sport where they give it there all day in and out. Not horse that campaign all year to run one big race and expect to be crown champion. · 289 days ago ·

BrianZipse · Fantastic list, Melaina ... It was nice to see Prairie Bayou make the cut. Unlike most geldings, he never got the opportunity for a long career, but he was a smart, loveable, and extremely talented horse. · 289 days ago ·

Winplacsho · Great article, I was also a fan of the old West Coast gelding, Best Pal. Also, even though he's a Kentucky bred, Perfect Drift grew up right here in Kansas City on Dr. Reed's farm just south of the city. · 289 days ago ·

shadowno · Hard to believe a list of top geldings could not include Ancient Title. I believe he is one of only five or six cal-breds in the Hall of Fame · 289 days ago ·

Zenyatta-Perfection Personified · Mine That Bird is one of my favourite geldings. His two year old season was fantastic and his races in the 2009 Triple Crown were far above average for any horse. 1-2-3 in the three biggest races for 3 yr olds is pretty awesome. I wish he had not lost interest in racing. He had the talent, but his heart was not in it after the TC. I hope he has a long and happy retirement. · 289 days ago ·
