FINAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE 205 BEST HORSES FROM BRAZIL
BY LUIZ EDUARDO LAGES
LUIZ EDUARDO LAGES was the first, after a very long time of studies, to publish one selection, with the classification of the best horses born and bred in Brazil in the last century! But, he did even more, selected 202 products from Brazil that started in the XX century, without doubt, the more important in our development and evolution on the turf! His final result is also considerate by many people around the world, the most a person can do in this question, including a perfect analyse, very well detailed in this very difficult case, the comparable of qualities between legends from the XX century! But, Lages never included a simple sympathy, and should not answer in some short moments, like so many people use and like to do. This needs very much more time than to answer with a simple opinion, like so many turfmen have the vicious to do.
LAGES RANKING about horses from Brazil, is a serious work, after many years of intensive investigation, a really research with all types of inquires, from just a person neutral and that never played one simple cent in racehorses for to not lose the power to be able to judge! His work, after all kinds of observations and studies was the first and always was the more easy to be acceptable in Brazil and by another international experts around the world. Only this fact, proves very well why his site "Lages Homepage" is so popular with the racing people all over the globe and his list the only published for serious sites in the Internet, magazines and newspapers, in all different mediums, from all type of turfs and countries, in all the five continents!
The text, as always in this site, was written by me, LUIZ EDUARDO LAGES, this time about myself and the serious work, gaining lot of reputation like results, when was the first to do one list about the best horses from last century! Sorry my missing of modesty, but those things is really facts! And when is so, like all the really facts, no one can contest! As all the publications make question to say when they inquire people, fast and without any kind of science or demand explanation, this sort of opinions does not have scientific value!
