I'd be tempted to put my money on Invasor showing up and running his excellent race every time. GZ was so fragile that he might make only half the races.

My point is that durability and consistency are components of greatness, too.

In terms of on track performance GZ is the only one being mentioned that in my mind compares, although he had a much different style of running.
I think your point is like mine in that there is a difference between brilliance and greatness. GZ was brilliant, I think Invasor may be a great one. I'm not saying he is yet but if he keeps racing we'll have a chance to see.
