I agree with everyone's opinion that this derby is a wide open event and I really think this year is the best time to pick a long shot to win it all. I'm picking Thunder Snow @20-1 to win. I know the record for horses coming from Dubai running in the derby, but I believe Thunder Snow is the best horse coming from UAE derby so far. I pick him to win, with CE, IWC, Gunnevera, McCracken & Battle of Midway underneath. GL to all.
What a race!!! Beholder is awesome!
or best female horse right now... Songbird will not beat Beholder anytime soon.
Beholder is still the best filly/mare right now.
When was the last time a Kentucky Derby winner did not win a major prep? I believe it will happen this year with Mor Spirit. Besides Nyquist, he finished not worse than 2nd on all of his races & he had already run in Churchill Downs. My top 2 horses for this year's derby are Nyquist & Mor Spirit Good luck to all.
IMO, there is no human being capable of putting a TOP 25 lists of all-time great horses without any arguments or debate. Even the GOAT in basketball can't be determined only because they were not able to compete with each other. All these horses are great in their time and no one is above & greater with each other. Even an undefeated horse can't be named the no. 1 horse of all time. After seeing what American Pharaoh had done in the past year, dominating all his competitions, what other performances or dominance would you like to see in a horse before you decide he is the greatest of all time. NOTHING... every horse performance is different & the era that they raced. You can't compared different performances & dominance. good day to all.
I agree, she's a witch. haha
NON-BREAKING NEWS: It was confirmed that American Pharoah & Victor Espinoza will be back next year (2016) together at the "Dancing with the Stars". LOL
Beholder is now #1 on the top ranking for active horses. She will stay in #1 until she retires. woohoo
Ashley Tamulonis & Eric Roland have both 5 winners in the 2015 BC races. All of Eric's winners came from BC Saturday. Congratulations.
