It's really way too difficult to rate the best 2-year-olds of all-time.

Some of the great 2yo's like Secretariat and Spectacular Bid weren't good gate horses early on -- and both of them could be had going real short because of immaturity and bad initial gate habits.

Some of the most sensational 2yo's going 5 furlongs and 6 furlongs had trouble staying a mile or further.
The American Derby at Was was worth 4x the purse value of the Travers. I've never even heard of 'Was'!
