big brown wouldn't be any faster if mother theresa owned him and the pope rode him. he's an ordinary horse, but he's better than his peers. that doesn't make him great.
Who said Big Brown compares to Dr. Fager? Not me. And while me not knowing Dr. Fager explains a lot, there is no way a flunkie like me will agree that Big Brown is an "ordinary" horse. And as much as you don't want to associate Big Brown with any history, unfortunately you can't.

Here's a few....Winning Kentucky Derby with fewest starts in the modern era. Winning from Post 20 vs. 19 others since early 1900s. Faced the most opponents in the the triple crown races. As a sidenote, he won FL from the outside.........All this is not ordinary. Plus he has done all of this with very unpopular connections.
