Colin, Man O' War, and horses back than were certainly great for their time, however, they can't be fairly compared with later 2-year-old's, and in my opinion, just don't belong.

Thats impossible to say...the only thing we have to compare is times and since track condition and other factors constitute an incalculable variable, that's basically worthless as well! I've always believed great horse in the 1800's would be great horses today!
