Post subject:  Greatest Racehorse of All Time
So I was thinking about what horse, out of all racing jurisdictions, is the greatest (or rather most well liked) of all time. So, to do this, I am asking everyone to post their 5-10 greatest race horses of all time (flat, jump, harness, quarter, arabian, idc) from any time period or any country. Then, after I receive about 100 entries, I will make a 64 horse tournament that voting can be done right on here. The winning horse will be included into my fictional schedule as a major championship race at their favorite distance and track (if possible); for example, if the winning horse is Cowboy King (the winner of today's third from Laurel Park), then the race would be known as the Cowboy King Cup.

I will post the tournament bracket as soon as I get about 100 entries. The 64 horse field will be of the following:
-20 Top Flat horses
-20 Top Jumps horses
-5 Top Harness horses
-5 Top Quarter horses
-5 Top Arabian horses
-9 Wild Card Spots (horses with enough votes that didn't make the field)

Thanks so much for humoring me haha!

A mix of both. I don't want just someone to rip a list from some website. It's who you think are the greatest of all time. So your favorite performances or something like that. Usually, greatest and favorites somewhat coincide when talking about the top echelon of horses. More towards greatest of all time (as the title states) but if you want to include your favorites as well, you are more than welcome to.

If they framed the weights in those days like they do now West Tip would have won 3 Grand Nationals. The best National Horse since Red Rum and one of the best of all time.

I also loved Pearlyman. :D
