I would also submit Lammtarra for consideration. Few know of him because he only ran in Europe and only ran four times. But consider this:

-Broke his maiden in October of his 2yo season

-Didn’t run again for seven months then won the Epsom Derby in his first start as a 3yo (track record I believe)

-Won the King George next

-Won the Arc

Can't wrap my head around what the criteria is for being considered "underrated".

So far, based on the horses named, the only criteria I could come up with is the horse has to be considered a Top 100 Racehorses of all time...
