I like your criteria and I also think you would be good member of a very select committee. Barry Irwin could not vote on any horse he owns however.
You know Commentator is being labeled in this string as not quite a Great Horse but a good horse. Didn't he beat Saint Liam in the Whitney who was a Great Horse. And Saint Liam was nosed out by Ghostzapper who was a Great Horse.
Invasor and Bernardini both just retired and they were Great Horses. With what Street Sense and Rag to Riches have accomplished this classifies them as Great Horses.
What are we all doing sitting around lusting for the 70's all over again when there are dozens and dozens of Great Horses already in the New Century......
