Kincsem's one win in England - came as the longest shot in a field of 3 - against two horses who weren't exactly thought of as stars. The strong favorite pointing for that race got sidelined.
An old DRF article I read a while ago from the 1910's talked about how the win 'was considered no big accomplishment by latter-day European turf writers'

He certainly was/is loved in Puerto Rico, understandably.

That doesn't flow as nicely as Zenyattard. How about, instead, Kinscum? That is, Kin-scum, not the other thing.

There would probably be more message board posters than actual horses who raced during Kincsem's time. I have no idea how good horses like Camaero or Kincsem were. There are always freaks who can greatly outrun very weak pedigrees - and certainly a good horse can come from anywhere. People are always going to like undefeated horses with big win streaks. To quote a great old time racing writer ...  Certainly horses like Camaero and Kincsem never came even remotely close to passing that test.
