You can put Hawk Wing's Lockinge in the same category as Master Minded. A horse can look very very good on one day but on no other day. It can be a combination of all sorts of things that just leads to a freakily good performance. Let SS do it again and again and we can call him one of the greatest.....like Frankel, Kauto, Moscow etc etc. I think we've been lucky recently that the likes of Frankel, STS and Kauto actually did it again and again so it wasn't just one performance. I think it has re-affirmed the position that to be considered a proper top notch horse, you need to deliver over and over again, like Sizing Europe. To achieve greatness then you need to be the best of that lot.
