Jimbo,

We need to establish a Greatness Committee. Being fans and handicappers we have no vested interest other than the integrity and sanctity of the sport and protecting the Hall of Greatness. We don't need to kiss Trainers and Breeders tails so we probably have more independence than anyone. Even if some of the candidates being considered have screwed us out of a bet or two.

We also need diversification so I nominate:

jimbo66
Chuckles_the_Clown2
NC Tony
Mall
Razzle
Indulto
Mark Hopkins
Barry Irwin

The committee themselves gets to set the standards. Similar to the Graded Stakes Committee. They can actually go back in history and "set the record straight" if they so choose and declare a horse no longer worthy a being called great. Call it a house cleaning of sorts.

This is the only fair and balanced way. Don't you agree.
