Yes----because turf writers are lazy and massively incompetent.

He was from the 2nd smallest foal crop of the 1900's---not the 5th.

The smallest foal crop of the 1900's featured only 15 fewer horses. The best of that crop was Morvich--who went into the Kentucky Derby with an 11-for-11 record--and won the Kentucky Derby to go 12-for-12.

Morvich was said to be a very ugly looking Cal bred....and he almost certainly wasn't that much horse inspite of his record.
