Old Dixie would move on after the fall of Calumet and rise again to be calling the shots at Bobby Frankel's barn, clenching another dominance over racing in North America.
I've found the quality of competition that Dixie faced on the internet to be outstanding, but based on sheer body of work - I would rate him first in a canter.

I deeply regret that I missed out on a lot of Dixie Porter's nonsense. That was one of the great trolls/posters I only hear stories about - but never saw much in terms of his body of work. Kind of like a Jim Thorpe or Hindoo of trolls.
