I also think there are levels of greatness ie; great horses, all time
greats and the greatest of all time (insert trumpet music)

Its gonna be tough for any horse these days to break into that all time great category.

A) Most of them don't run enough
B) If they do run for a long time, everyone questions the type of horses they're running against.
