He carried his speed at 1 1/4 and won on turf.
Was Affectionately great?

Is it just like everything else where there are layers and overlaps of this thing called greatness?

I was impressed reading over the Top 100 book.... I don't know much off the top of my head, not the type who can remember figures, but i do remember reading that she carried 137 in the Vagrancy.

I'm not trying to qualify her as being great because of this alone, but combined with her record of wins and beating the boys (which seems to matter to some, I think...) was she or wasn't she?
