From 7/25/98 through 11/06/99 she ran beyers of 102 or higher every single time. She held amazing form for 16 months. In this time she won 5 Grade 1's and was a close second in 3 others, 2 of those seconds came to Beautiful Pleasure, who was another great filly.

As far as being an all-time great:

She lost the BC Distaff twice and the Kentucky Oaks, arguably her 3 most important races. Even though she was champion 3yo filly in '98, she wasn't much better than Keeper Hill when looking at their head-to-head matchups.

That said, I liked that horse, and on her best day would pose a serious threat to either of our the two racing now.

I put Smuggler in my top 5 all time greats list.

Bushfire. If not for the talent, for the name.

I dont know if shes been mentioned. Although she only ran 5 times. What about Landaluce? Showed greatness in those 5 races and would have been hard for any to beat?

I think Crist had her in his "honorable mention" category at the bottom of his blog.

Had Pebbles in that group as well, though, I'm not sure why she didn't make the chart considering the other couple of Euros on there. Maybe because the latter two ran in more than one BC.
