That was the point I was making Hooves. Not that anyone is smarter than anyone, just that whats great now wasn't great back then. And the older you are, the more you probably roll your eyes these days.
The horses we just talked about in the 80's and 90's, the guys older than me are gonna say they weren't Affirmed or Bid or Sec or Alydar or fager.
I guess the quality overall has slipped(I've blamed the adventof the BC a million times on here and firmly believe its detroyed and is destroying the game), and even i was a little taken aback at the figs that were posted. It jogged some memories.

I don't think that the quality overall has slipped. It's just that the way horses are raced nowadays prohibits a good horse from being tested many times against other good horses.
