I wasn't comparing the merits of Gulch and King's Swan at all. I know what those horses did and what they were. What I was simply saying was that they weren't considered the upper echelon of the male runners in their year just like Two Step and Mast Track would be facing males but nowhere near the upper echelon's of the male horses.

Gulch was definitely considered in the upper echelon of male runners that year and King's Swan was close....and only considered below the top because we actually had good horses running then.

As one of the Rastas so eloquently put it, one cold winter day at Aqueduct, as King Swan was repulsing a challenge while carrying 130ish pounds....." and NOOOOOOOOBODY passes the Swan! "
