We are in agreement.
Dr. Fager, at least the mature 4yo version, was, in the words of John Nerud, "the greatest horse who ever looked through a bridle."
Unmatched in competitive spirit (e.g., witness his savaging of In Reality), he could accomplish 6f in under 1:08 and 1 1/4 miles in under 2:00 all while carrying crushing weight. Simply stated, he was the best I've seen.
