Of the recent horses that i can compare him to, i dont think he was any better then Street Cry,Point Given, Bernardini even Invasor seemed to do it more powerfully then Curlin, Ghostzapper, Roses in May, i dont know, maybe im wrong, but i cant see how Curlin can be a All Time great when one could argue that he's not even top 10 in the last 10 years.

Curlin = Ashado

Quality Grade 1 talent with sub par competition... Real nice horses but certainly products of the era. Neither of the two above were exceptionally fast, both beat a bunch suspect stock often enough to have records which inflate their earnings and legend among masses.
