On the other hand, High Chaparral won the Derby, The Irish Derby, another Breeders Cup, an Irish Champion Stakes and on his bad days, he came 3rd in 2 Arcs.. He also won a G1 as a 2 year old..

Risking tying Danzig's all time consecutive post mark here, but I'm not sure I understand your post.
By 'rest of his career', I assume you do mean his entire career and not what came after the BC. My answer to that is that horse never really put it all together, and/or was ridden with questionable tactics by Solis.
You can't see how I can put him higher? How about the fact he deadheated the horse almost everyone on here has as the 2nd highest rated horse? Was that just some weird fluke? Did HC just have a bad day? I don't get it.
The only answer you've come up with is that some other horse had a bad ride, which still makes no sense to me.
I will concede to you that HC was a far more accomplished horse than Johar, but no way can I say that HC was the better horse.
Oh, and just how many races of Johar's did you see?
