Voting Results

Dateline: 7/11/98

The response to the poll was really great! It was nice to see so many people cared enough to voice their opinion. There were 159 different horses who received votes in the Thoroughbred poll and 41 in the Standardbred poll. They ran the gamut from legitimate contenders like Man O'War to "what are they doing here" candidates like Gussie Mae! Total number of votes cast were 1,885 for the Thoroughbreds and 236 for the Standardbreds. Below are the top 10 from each poll with links a little info about each where I could find them.
