Esteemed committee members:
May I suggest you create three categories - Great, Potentially Great, and Singular Great Performances. Lately there have been many in the latter two categories.
Great - the usual seventies-era icons, John Henry, maybe Cigar and Skippy.
Potentially Great - the sparsely run dominating horses, premature retirees, eg. Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, G-zapper, Invasor, Point Given, Tiznow, B-dini, Mineshaft. It would be interesting to speculate which of the potentially great would have become legendary had they been allowed/lasted to race for three full campaigns.
Singular Great Performances - Bellamy Road's Wood, Pleasant Home's BC Distaff. Keeneland dirt performances cannot qualify.
