Sadler's Wells, while pretty good, didn't really light the world on fire as a racehorse.

GZ is the best still around in my opinion.

The conversation would get interesting if you looked at sprinters. Who is the best living sprinter?

Storm Cat

Is not breeding part of being a racehorse?

I suppose not, but expectations for him were tremendous and he was one of the most highly anticipated new stallions I ever remember going to stud.

I don't remember all the details from 26 years ago, but he was regarded to be quite exceptional.

I can think of better though.
