Like I said previously I don't know how a knowledgeable person answers yes to either of those questions.

No, and no. Not even a close call, IMO. And further, it is unlikely that either Big Brown or Curlin will do enough before retiring to be "great" in the sense that Cannon Shell is talking about. There's very little chance of seeing another horse like the true greats unless it's a gelding.
Roller Doc, I suggest you spend some time at YouTube and search for Dr. Fager races. (after reading at least the Wikipedia entry.)
