Add to that in three of them, he blew away the field, and in two of them, he won from the outside post (KY Derby was even more amazing post 20).

So then you believe Stardom Bound and Vineyard Haven have both had better years than Commentator? If Stardom Bound wins the BC Juv Fillies and Zenyatta loses the Distaff, they've had an equal year because they've got the same number of grade ones? Or she's had a better one than Proud Spell and her two grade ones? Or Indian Blessing and her two grade ones? Hell, let's take it further. If Stardom Bound wins her third grade one in the BC, she will have had a better single season than Commentator has had a CAREER cause he's only won two grade ones in his career. She would be the equal of Medaglia d' Oro and his three grade one wins in his career. She'd pass Smarty Jones and his two. She'd equal Afleet Alex and his three. One more and she's had as good a career as Ghostzapper.
