All grade ones aren't created equal. Heatseeker won the grade two Californian, beating Tiago and Surf Cat with a 109 Beyer. Both of those horses are multiple graded stakes winners in open company. Are you seriously going to argue that Big Brown beating Coal Play and Cool Coal Man in the Haskell (106) or beating Macho Again and Ichabad Crane in the Preakness (100) or beating Smooth Air and Tomacito in the Florida Derby (106) mean more simply because they were grade ones? Seriously?

Seriously...I don't know. But all those horses you named is what was thrown at him and he beat them all. You left out Denis of Cork (not a bad horse), and Colonel John too (also very decent).
Off topic, I thought the FL Derby favorite was a horse named __________ Fields, but I cannot be for sure. Do you remember that horses name? It is driving me crazy.
