I think the problem here is that most people way over estimate the abilities of Street Sense, Hard Spun, AGS and Curlin.

The only one of those I have any reservations about is Curlin.

I am curious. Where, on ability only, do you think Danzig ranked in his crop (1980 3yos)???

I was at Saratoga the day he broke his maiden, so yeah I did watch him run before he got hurt. He was real talented.

Then he got hurt, they threw him to the wolves and he got hurt even worse and had to retire. I'm not denying he looked like he might be better than any of them. He just never proved it.

Meanwhile Curlin accomplished a lot. So did Street Sense and Hard Spun to a lesser extent.
