I would still find it hard to call a horse great based on the 1 race. But then I have a problem with the whole Breeders Cup concept.
I would rather see him race as a 4 year old; maybe even take a few defeats, but it would depend on how he raced in those defeats.
Seattle Slew completed his Triple Crown undefeated. But what he did as a 4 year old is what I really remember. He faced the best: won 2 and lost 2.
