I agree with JJP. S O' Gold won the Woodward, the Jockey Clup Gold Cup, and just missed sweeping the Fall Championship Series at Belmont as a 3 year old by a head I believe (losing the Marbor Cup), after finishing 2nd in the Belmont that year. Won an eclipse for the 3 year old horse of the year that year. You state all of this above Rollo, but these are facts. All Along was a great animal too which is also a fact, winning some prestigeous races over seas, but who were the next two best horses in the Arc in '83? Bates Motel was not anything to shake a stick at either. Believe he won close to 900k and was an Eclipse Award winner for Champion Older Male. Plus, take it for what it is worth, I believe Slew O was ranked 10-15 slots higher in the Blood Horse's top 100 greatest of the 20th century....
