If a single stakes race matters that much, then Garthorn is the greatest horse since 1986. In the 1986 Met Mile, he defeated the defending BC Classic champion, the 1986 BC Sprint winner, the 1986 BC Distaff winner and Horse of the Year, and the 1986 Champion Older Horse.

Turkoman was one of those horses that had the look of power/speed-on-call.
