Champions from Around the World

Hello, I am Beth Chaisson, the creator of this site. For a year or so I have been going online, looking for information on some of the greatest racehorses that ever ran. The United States has produced some amazing racehorses, but we (yes I am American) are not the only country in the world that has produced some amazing racehorses. Listed are the horses, from around the world, whom I believe are the greatest in the history of thoroughbred horse racing, the date ranging from the 1700s to the present time, listed in alphabetical order.

Some  horses are especially difficult to find information on. Horses without dates, countries, or both means I could not find any information on that horse. If you find a site on one of those horses, or one of the others (or one you think should be on the list) please email me the web address and tell me the horse you wish for me to look at.

I only understand English, so if you wish to email me please email me in English. If you do not know English very well, here is a translator you can use at http://www.t-mail.com/ and from there you can copy and paste the translation in an email to me. Thank you. I hope to be able to do justice so the greatest racehorses in history that ALL COUNTRIES have produced.
