I think it is really hard to compare horses from era to era. The game has changed so much it isnt funny. But it is always good to know the history of the sport. I really think there are too many stakes races, too much important but on a Grade I win and too much importance but in the BC Races. Breeding for speed is the one thing that has made this sport so mundane in the past years. I love how you get a 14 horse field in the Smile Handicap worth $500k and you get a 6 horse field for the Stephen Foster for $750k.
