Great list tmbz1, just a suggestion (don't kill me ngc3), consider changing Secretariat to a harness horse here and you can add Secretariat (below link) with 2 other t-breds to the equivalent Admin set up in the Thoroughbred section:

"Rambling Willie was born on a farm in Monroeville, Indiana.
He did not race at age two and as three-year-old was purchased by driver/trainer Robert Farrington for $15,000 who later gifted 50% of the horse to his wife Vivian and sold the other half to Paul Siebert.
To this day, considering inflation, his earnings from age 4 and up have not been surpassed in North America."

Don't have Pathway but would be curious to see how many times he raced at Scioto during his heyday.
Sure seems like I saw him at least 10 times. As shown in the video, he was beloved. They did a great
job using him as an ambassador for the sport. He was certainly under consideration for my top 3.

didn't Hanover shoe farm refuse cambest as a stallion??
Yes, you are completely right, and that is a famous piece of harness racing lore.While Cambest's owner, Dan Kramer, was finalizing the horse's syndication for his secondary career, Hanover Shoe Farms famously turned down the opportunity to stand Cambest as a stallion.
Why Hanover Refused Cambest Conformation Concerns: The management at Hanover Shoe Farms at the time took issue with Cambest’s conformation, specifically citing that his legs and hocks did not meet their strict physical standards for a premier stallion.The "Small" Factor: Despite holding the blazing T1:46.1 world record, there was skepticism about whether his immense speed would translate to his offspring given his physical build.
P.S the conformation issue may/may not be true. The word on the street was there was a TCO2 issue. Hanover Shoe at the time referenced it without saying it directly. I believe Fred Grant was the trainer.
The Jackpot for Walnut HallAfter Hanover passed, Walnut Hall Ltd. in Lexington, Kentucky, eagerly stepped in and took him. The decision proved to be an absolute jackpot for Walnut Hall.Cambest went on to become an incredibly dominant, elite sire whose offspring won more than $134 million in purses. Ironically, because Cambest proved his skeptics so thoroughly wrong, Hanover Shoe Farms later had to spend massive amounts of money to buy back into his bloodlines, heavily purchasing his daughters and granddaughters to upgrade their own broodmare band.

I’ve been lurking on this site for awhile and finally registered after seeing this thread as it got me thinking about my 35 years in the sport of harness racing. Here are my top 3 I’ve seen in person.
Precious Bunny - 91 Meadowlands Pace. Can’t believe he hasn’t been mentioned yet
Moni Maker
Miss Easy
Honorable mention: Nine Across - She’s the reason I got hooked on harness after my $2 exacta paid $100.40 at 17 years old at the Meadowlands.
-
Billsmafia, Danny Row Gil wasn't the greatest but I agree he was one of the toughest racehorses in his day. 2 nasty bows and a miserable disposition, I think everybody who owned him made money. Rowcliff's and Gillard's, Elba NY

All you gotta know is Jackie Mo and Precious Bunny!

Jupiter, you are correct about Danny Row Gil. He was tough and mean. Extremely mean.
From Dictionary.com: Ornery is an adjective used to describe someone who is bad-tempered, irritable, and difficult to deal with. It can also refer to a person or animal that is stubborn and hard to control. I'm surprised there wasn't a picture of Danny Row Gil attached to the definition.

Not in order.....,, Bulldog Hanover..... Mountain Reece at Scioto... Always wanted his breathing anybody you know please a horse was like one of the first ones that used to it be good and I went to the races with my dad.He was massive like a mountain.........

I've seen just about every great horse since the early 60's. Yes, I am an old piece of shit. One horse that should be mentioned is Golden Receiver.
-
Niatross at the LBJ..I was 6 years old lol
Artsplace..at Scioto. Massive crowd at Scioto that night I was 16 or 17
Peace Corps at the LBJ..was barred from betting. Still the prettiest trotter I've ever seen and the way she stretched her legs and neck out gives me chills to this day.
Others have done honorable mentions.. so I didn't see him mentioned..
Life Sign at the LBJ and Scioto. Great horse and tremendous heart going against the Robinson machine. Riyadh and Presidential Ball. One of my favorite years watching racing
