He may have been a better horse than 90% of the horses out there but that doesn't mean that he's tried harder than they have. .

It most certainly does

I can't believe that's automatically true. Are you saying that all horses have the same natural ability and that the thing that separates the good ones from the bad is how hard they try? I would think that there are some horses, that no matter how hard they try, won't have the ability to be grade one horses. Just like no matter how hard I try, I'll never be as good as Michael Jordan.

No but a great majority never get to their peak because they simply dont try as hard as others. There are many reasons why they may not try including poor management and/or soundness/breathing issues. But no horse wins stakes races without a great deal of effort on their part, usually more than horses of equal or even greater ability. The difference between a maiden 10 and Curlin is far more narrow than the difference between you and MJ. (I'm assuming that you arent LeBron or Kobe)
