Second of all, while she is clearly terrific, she also beat Kip Deville in one BC, and Courageous Cat and Justenufhumor in the other. If I'm not mistaken, Miesque absolutely drowned Steinlen in her second BC Mile win...and Lure's first BC Mile was amazing.
She is an extraordinarily good horse. But perhaps a little perspective?

I agree with you, especially with regards to the 2008 running where the American horses were terrible. Last year's field was a lot better and Courageous Cat did run his eyeballs out. Zacinto and the Godolphin horse who had won on World Cup night were both solid horses from Europe and the American contingent was far from terrible.
Now, the 2009 field was nowhere near the quality of some of the fields Da Hoss or Lure beat, let alone Miesque.
