Seriously. Einstein wasn't the best performer this year in any individual area. He didn't run the fastest race. He didn't win the biggest race. He didn't beat the best field. There are maybe 10 or more horses in this country that are better than him. But they all didn't have seasons that were better than him in terms of combining winning good races, beating good horses, showing versatility, and doing it from the start of the year to the end.
