He was but on his best it didn't matter, he would just run them off their feet. Don't forget that we never saw what HB could do as an older horse while GZ's career highlights were manly as an older horse in carefully selected spots.

GZ was a really good horse but he was trained by a guy who was unusually phenomenal during that time, was never entered in a race (outside of maybe the Kings Bishop which he still should have won) where everything wasn't in his favor and like Holy Bull was a sprinter that could stretch his speed. His claim to fame season consisted of two 4 horse races, a perfect trip slop race, essentially a match race and a perfect trip Classic. How this makes him better than Holy Bull is news to me.
