So, people rate High Chapparal 2nd on the list but Johar tenth, despite their deadheat the one time they met.
Yeah, that makes sense.

How the hell is any American supposed to be able to rank those? You can't do it without a whole lot of guess work.

I guess if Cigar had retired before putting it all together, my prediction of future greatness for him would have been scoffed at as well. Come to think of it, it was (by friends)!
Perhaps Johar just needed more time to mature as a racehorse, I don't know. I do know, however, that if you know how to watch a horse, you'd have seen an acceleration with him that you rarely see from other horses. Back when he was running, I thought that perhaps his rider had a tendency to get him going just a bit too late to get to the wire first. Toussaud must have been a goat as well I guess, since she didn't win even half her starts either. I wonder how it's possible Frankel thought her, at least at one point, thought her to be one of the best three fillies or mares he'd ever had.
