exactly. i think writers compare horses that we see today to stars of the past, as how else would many know what they were talking about? seattle slew was pretty much a household name. so if you want your readers to know that this horse was brilliant at two, and likes to run up front-would you toss out some no name to compare him to?
but then some jerk their knees, and go off the deep end. how dare he compare him to slew?! sigh
