As far as Mineshaft goes, very nice horse, but he couldn't carry Spectacular Bid's jock strap (assuming he could have one).

I agree with that, I've never said he was better than Bid.

Fair enough, but you have him in the same sentence--too close for me.

There is a decent enough argument that SB was the greatest American horse of my lifetime, which is now approaching half a century. You can make decent arguments for a very few others as well. Mineshaft is not one of them. As long as we both know that, we're OK.
