It's a tough question to answer because it really boils down to what you value in a horse.
Some people probably don't know that Formal Gold won his debut by 19 lengths with a record debut Beyer of 112.
Some people probably don't know that FG was only a pace factor in that Dubai World Cup race won by the globetrotting turf horse Singspeil off of a layoff.
There was a great FG and an ordinary FG.
