Street Sense won the BC Juvy and the Derby, the only horse to ever do so. Rags to Riches won the Belmont, the first Filly in 100 years to do so. This makes both of them, at a minimum, Great Horses by todays standards.
I didn't set the bar that is just where it has been placed. At a level where it is not that difficult to jump over.
A couple of cruising Grade I wins, a win in a TC race or the BC Classic or Dubai, or any two of the three, and you are instantly a Great Horse.
Street Sense and Rags to Riches should actually retire NOW. While they are still at the Immortal level...........
