We're a lot faster and a lot more fragile.

You have to go all the way back to Invasor to find an elite horse who has come out of South America. I think Einstein was bred in South America - but didn't race there.

Yep. But his championship year was one-year before Invasor's.

There have been a few pretty amazing superstar horses from South America in each decade going back quite a ways.
