Most underrated horse
I'm talking all-time. It seems that these days the world has to do "Mount Rushmore" and crap like that in every sport. But there have been some incredible horses that don't necessarily get mentioned with the all-time greats enough in my opinion.
I'm going with Affirmed. Man his 4-year-old season was incredible.

Go for Wand. I don’t think there are many horses that can be fast enough to run 7f in 1:21, come back just nine days later and run 10f in 2:00 4/5, then return a month later and go 9f in 1:45 4/5 (close to Secretariat’s track record). I was devastated when she broke down in the Distaff but people forget that she was going toe to toe with Bayakoa, a damn good horse in her own right. That Go for Wand did all that as a 3yo filly was incredible.

I would also submit Lammtarra for consideration. Few know of him because he only ran in Europe and only ran four times. But consider this:
-Broke his maiden in October of his 2yo season -Didn’t run again for seven months then won the Epsom Derby in his first start as a 3yo (track record I believe) -Won the King George next -Won the Arc

Can't wrap my head around what the criteria is for being considered "underrated".
So far, based on the horses named, the only criteria I could come up with is the horse has to be considered a Top 100 Racehorses of all time... Affirmed 12 Ruffian 35 Go For Wand 72 Lady's Secret 76 Lammtarra 11 Wise Dan 81

If we are talking about good horses that rarely make a Top 100 list:
Paradise Creek Manila Singspiel Kotashaan Fantastic Light Steinlen Formal Gold Forty Niner Chief's Crown Gulch Broad Brush Lost Code Snow Chief Flawlessly

Dubai Millennium is one of the highest rated UK runners of all time (I think he's in Timeform's top ten & was #36 in a UK/Irish Top 100 I looked up).
Also, Fantastic Light is also rated a lot higher than I thought (was number 40 on the same UK/Irish list). I'll switch him out for Sahkee.
