Will we ever see another great one??
And I mean one that we can all agree on. A Secretariat, a Man 'O War, A Seattle Slew. Many of us are too young to remember the "real" great ones.
I've been in this game since 1987 and I can't really say I've seen a real great horse. I've seen plenty that you folks have already mentioned that have had a great day or a great six or seven months, but nothing that compared to the real great ones.

I think Ouija Board was great, and while I may get murdered here for saying so, I also think Skip Away was great, although a less flashy, less brilliant embodiement of it. Certainly, neither are on the same level as the obvious past greats, but I have no problem using the word for them.
Those are the only two horses that I've seen in my life that I would qualify as great.
