he's the highest rated horse of all time..but that doesn't make you the greatest

but then again what does?..what if 100% greatness meant you had to win a G1 at every distance from 5f to 16f..is that complete greatness and everything else a % of it?

how would we judge greatness?

is it winning on all types of going..at every trip known to man

i don't think it can be truly defined tbh

a small measure of greatness at a trip can be measured in what price a horse starts at..when its 1/9 in a G1 that would be a par G1 any other year..it certainly suggests you are great under those conditions
