It is hard to say that there have been no great horses since the 70's. Cigar did something extraordinary, Skip Away was a really top horse who could have competed with the best handicap horses of any era, Likewise with Alysheba and fernidand who also had Triple crown success, Manila and Lure were both as good at what they did as any I ever saw, Miesques 2 mile wins were electric, Sunday Silence and easy Goer were as top notch as 3 year olds as there has been and each kept the other from being a triple crown winner, ladys secret was a warrior, Inside information and Personal Ensign were about as good as you can be, filly or not, as was Ruffian, John Henrys record is almost unmatched and All Along was a tremendous turf horse
