Mr Feelgood, really? He has won two of the big GC circuit races but so have plenty others. Recent bias there imo.

Otherwise its a futile exercise comparing the greats of different eras. Eg I could have posted where is Christian Cullen or Koala King or Double Identity but its a silly procedure imo.

If you wanted to do the list based on the horses major victories well here is a Grand Circuit list. http://www.harness.org.au/grandcirc/agc_rwonp.htm
The list only includes Aust horses. I've looked at your GC list - nothing really there that escaped my attention. Can't entirely go on grand circuit wins otherwise Poppy wouldn't be on the list at all. It's been based on the big three ( Inters, Miracle Mile, Hunter Cup) as well as other majors. Gammalite - 83 & 84 inters, 82 Hunter Cup, 82 Auckland Cup, W.A.Pacing cup, 4 S.A. Pacing Cups, 81 Queensland Champs, 2 Freo Cups, Grand Circuit Champion 82, 83, & 84. Popular Alm - 83 Hunter Cup 83 Miracle Mile, 82 & 83 Winfield Cups, 81 & 82 Kilmore Cups. I think Gammalite wins. I did err on the part of Koala King, he probably should have been placed above Mr Feelgood and Paleface Adios.
