Which horses were truly great?

[Pedigree Ann]

Danzig, let's agree that Genuine Risk and Bold n' Determined were the two best 3yo fillies of 1980 and among the 3 best 3yos period. (Temperence Hill was the champion, developed later, and beat GR in the Belmont. The colts directly behind GR in the Derby were hardly world-beaters - Rumbo and Jaklin Klugman, both G2 SWs and nice horses, but nothing special.) When they met head-to-head it was in Bold n' Determined's better distance range (7-9f) and not Genuine Risk's (9f-10f) so BnD won.
