On who you believe is the greatest SIM dirt router of all time. Due to the response to my first attempt at this, I am going to try to narrow it down, but that means you all need to help me out!

Who is the best dirt router ever in the SIM, based on their racing career, including stakes and handicaps?

Regardless of age, years raced, and opponents faced, who was the best runner on dirt over the distances of 1 1/8 - 1 1/2 miles??

Let me know your opinion here, or you can message it to me. You don't need to give any reasons, but you can if you'd like.

If there is something that could use some clarification, please ask, as I would really like to write this with some info as to the trainers' opinions. Thanks!!

Conduit was my favorite that I got to see race - I mean the best in my mind since I joined the SIM. However, I adore Priceless Forever... he was awesome! The other TC winners have to rock, too. But yeah, Conduit and Priceless Forever are my picks.

Even if I'm an advocate for Event of the Year, I have to give props to Priceless Forever. They are the Man o War and Secretariat of the SIM (in the old days, every famous horse was modeled after a real life star counterpart... such as Conduit was like Citation and Symbol was like Dr. *).

Huh, I didn't know that. Was there a Ruffian? Or would that have been The Look?

The Look, I think, was Landaluce. Forever Risk was Ruffian.

Jet-Ski and Accolade were Affirmed and Alydar. Except they have the same sire, which is awesome!
