What a hard task they have..
I'd say Guaranteed and Lenny The Shark are building up a following and rivalry. I'm sure there are quire a few others that potentially can reach that status over time.
What horse will become the next peoples' favorite to replace Smoken Up now that he has retired? I know I'm The Mighty Quinn is one but who is the up and coming crowd favorite? I suppose the next generation star.

Beutide would be up there for me
Leaky's Smokin; Twitter's favourite pacer!
Come on Frank must be one to mention
I can see where you are coming from Adam. Does the "people's favorite " horse have that extra something in the fact that the human connection to the horse also appeals to the crowd. Paleface Adios and Colin Pike, Village Kid and Bill Horne, Popular Alm and Vin Knight, Blacks A Fake and Natalie, Smoken Up and Lance. No one could doubt the appeal of Come On Frank and his family.
Might be a good call Steve
