He probably didn't make the cut since Somerfrost has a penchant for 19th century horses.

Kincsem's one win in England - came as the longest shot in a field of 3 - against two horses who weren't exactly thought of as stars. The strong favorite pointing for that race got sidelined.

An old DRF article I read a while ago from the 1910's talked about how the win 'was considered no big accomplishment by latter-day European turf writers'

He certainly was/is loved in Puerto Rico, understandably.

Imagine if they had the internet and message boards back then.. would we be calling Kincsem's supporters Kin-Tards?
