Miff:

No argument here. But you know how advertising works. It sounds better to say "Breed to the World's fastest Three Year Old" than it does to say "Breed to the colt who got the highest number ever from a couple of guys who may or may not know what they're talking about and may have disregarded a variant".

I might say that Spec Bid was the fastest 3YO I've ever seen, and, ironically, he wasn't much as a stud.

Unless the animals are all running in the same race, "fastest" when it pertains to racehorses of one, or several, generations, will always be quite the subjective judgment. No matter how much the art/science of figure making evolves.
