Sea the Stars is a truly great race horse. What I love about the beast is its versatility over a number of distances.
I think though to be crowned the "greatest ever" you have to show a level of consistency over a number of years. I appreciate many of the great race horses are retired at an early age and sent to stud where they command great fees for covering some useful dam's. This though I cannot accept is a measure of greatness.
I think also the mark of a great horse is the will to win against older/more experienced rivals. So many year olds fail to materialise into top 4 & 5 year olds.
I think what we can say is STS is one of the greatest horses we have seen in our generation. He is pretty much the Usain Bolt of the horse world. Would we say that Usain Bolt was not a great athlete if he fails to deliver a top class sprinter of a son?
Nijinsky, Dubai Millenium, Nashwan, Mill Reef, Shergar, Rock of Gibralter. All top class horses. It would be nice to have seen them all race each other at their peak with top jocks onboard everyone.
