If we are talking about good horses that rarely make a Top 100 list:

Dubai Millennium is one of the highest rated UK runners of all time (I think he's in Timeform's top ten & was #36 in a UK/Irish Top 100 I looked up).
Also, Fantastic Light is also rated a lot higher than I thought (was number 40 on the same UK/Irish list). I'll switch him out for Sahkee.

Have been exploring this topic with the 'Horse That Time Forgot' segments.. Am going to make it a more regular and formal feature. Amazing how many near-greats there have been that aren't more 'well recalled'.

A hard-to-define topic. Some horses captivate us, others not so much. How do you describe and define underrated? Underappreciated? Underexposed? I loved Precious Passion. Was he great or underrated, or did I love watching him run as fast as he could as long as he could? You could argue what gave him a high profile overrated his actual results on track. I thought Dehere was a monster when he was running. He never ran super fast. He beat a meh champagne field and lost at 3/5 in BC, but for me, he was great—just a hard topic to define.
