Arazi's Beyer for his BC Juvenile win was about the same as Jackson Bend's Beyer for his latest Calder win. For him to have gone down as a great horse if he retired at 2... the person defining what a great horse is would have to have these as his top four factors...

Ability as a 2yo
Visual likability
Ability to handle different surfaces
Ability to win with dominance


He would also have to have several factors on the list answered with doesn't matter at all.

Vindication never was beaten as a 2yo - and won the BC Juvenile with a slightly higher fig than Arazi ... he retired at 2 and he's been pretty much forgotten.
