Not sure about the rest of you, but for me, it's gotta be Silver Charm. None of the others went on to do so well at 4 and 5 like he did. But Smarty Jones comes a close 2nd.

I'm gonna have to go back 21

I'm gonna have to go back 21 years and say Sunday Silence, followed by Barbaro if your just talking Derby's, his was the most impressive i've seen in 30 years of watching! If your talking overall career of derby winners, I think Thunder Gulch gets overlooked too much for some reason. He was a fine horse.

Point Given did'nt win the derby, though he should have won the whole triple crown!

Oh you're right Point Given

Oh you're right Point Given didn't win the Derby... I'd still go BB as the most impressive Derby winner past 20 years.

Well, you all are right

Well, you all are right about thae fact that Point Given should've won the Triple Crown. But if there's one horse who should've donw it, it was Silver Charm. He was so close and never saw Touch Gold coming
