Hmmm, how many major horses, the type who have won a whole bunch of grade 1's, have finished unbeaten. Is it a big number?

How many fillies have won the classic?

How many horses have come from last in every race to run by the entire field?

Those three things, I guess they are ordinary everyday events.
