True. Again, how do you define "greatness"? If its just the perception of pure talent, then by all means, BM was great. If its by accomplishment, he was far from it.

Heck, Lamtarra could have been one of the greatest ever to run if just judging by talent.

And just who the **** would argue that Lamtarra wasn't great?
Look, they don't have to run 100 times to be great in my book. I only have to see it twice. One time to define it, another time to prove the first one ain't a fluke.

Lammtarra won the three most important races in Europe as a 3YO ... twice defeating large fields of the best older horses.

There's no doubt that he was great ... he proved it on the track.

Agree totally.

His run in the Derby was tremendous
