That's a really good question.
I was there for the Arazi race, but not for Uncle Mo's.
All I can tell you is that when Arazi made his move there was a collective gasp in the stands that I haven't heard many times in 35 years of going to the races.
Numbers people are probably going to prefer Mo because he ran the faster race, but I think Arazi demonstrated a level of acceleration and a sustained run that is pretty rare. I suspect he was capable of running quite a bit faster if required at that time.
I always thought it was shame that he got so hyped after that. Then with the surgery and lack of development at 3, when he didn't fulfill any of the hopes he sort of lost a lot of credit for how great he was at 2.
