Well, I thought about nominating Xanduro for a lark. You know, multiple G1 winner, $458k in earnings in only 5 starts, only loss by a neck in another G1.
Race career only lasted 14 weeks. Was I asked, pretty competitive compared to some of those nominated.

All I really got to say though is sucks to be Dan! Poor fella is going to offend quite a few people by the time this gig is done and dusted ;)

Good luck Dan :lol:

I have some plans made up to try to offend fewer SIMsters. Like the most massive “honorable mention” capsules collection in the history of Earth.

Will horses from the "steroid era" be noted with an asterik?

Queen of Atlantis, the only 3yo filly ever to win the Steward’s Cup Turf (and she got passed in the stretch and fought back, that’s pretty gutsy!).

I don’t think she would even be in the top 100 SIM horses of all time but since we’re all bragging...😜

I can't believe no one has nominated this girl yet, she accomplished things on track that no other horse in the history of the SIM can match.

If I can throw Electric Blue’s name into the mix...he won North American and European Simmys, 7 Grade 1 stakes including the Steward’s Cup Turf and a hair over $4 million in purses. 😀

We're up to 258 overall nominations now. I've looked at 241 of them and have written capsules for 158 of them. I also have not finished going through all the world record holders, which I will do just to make sure one of them doesn't get overlooked.

(For the record, about 40 horses in I started figuring out what kind of resume was going to be worthy of top 50 consideration, and if I knew a horse wasn't going to make that cut, I didn't do a capsule. Needless to say, a lot of horses really were/are worthy of top 50 consideration. I'm sure I'll catch some flack from owners whose horses I deemed not quite good enough for even an "honorable mention" capsule, but I hope most will appreciate the work that's been done, and the history it chronicles. It's a pretty impressive look back.)

FWIW, no flack coming from here - just a massive amount of admiration and appreciation for all the work you're putting in to this. Can't wait to see the results!

You mean Portrait in Death wasn't good enough for an honorable mention capsule? I'm flabbergasted! She was the best at being the worst!
