No, but I think you're right, in his era he was spectacular. Three time Turf Champion. 66 Starts 43 wins. Imagine that?

I've always paid attention to him in pedigrees. (Not that I factor pedigree first) Though something else I think I first heard from you on a subconscious level is that "pedigree matters even less today" and I've thought about it and I think you're right. Its place always debatable, has further diminished.
