I guess your right about calling Musket Man "great" what I mean is for his Pedigree what he accomplished is Great. A horse with his background should have no chance of placing in two-thirds of the triple crown. His determination and heart obviously have carried him a long way. I think it's greatness to accomplish what he has with his background. But if I'm wrong to think this please school me. I'm always game to learn. It's just my opinion thus far.
Maybe greatness isn't the word?
Also Scapa Flow 2: here's his background.
Man O War's 1924 crop produced the champion 2-year-old and Futurity winner Scapa Flow.Scapa Flow, brought honor to the colors of Mrs. W.M. Jeffords, the owner of Golden Broom and Hoodwink, by earning the 1926 Juvenile Championship. His wins that season had included the Futurity Stakes.
He was one of Man O' Wars most promising offspring until he tragically broke down.
He was poised for greatness in the eyes of many and now it's hard to find more than what I've posted here on the internet about him.
