    Sinndar, Generous, Peintre Celebre rarely mentioned when speaking of greats but definitely up there. Alamshar as well, not as good as the first three but definitely under rated. Beat Dalakhani in the Irish derby and impressive in the King George. Threw in a couple of below par runs though so can see why.

    It's a shame that Peintre Celebre got injured and didn't have a 4yo career - his Arc win was sublime, considering an exceptional horse like Pilsudski was made to look second rate in that Arc. I've never seen a horse accelerate at the end of a 12f race the way Peintre Celebre did that day at Longchamp.

    Sinndar was a victim of the Aga Khan's unquenchable appetite to pack his horses off to stud, and Generous likewise with Fahd Salman.

    Did you see See The Stars in his Arc? Looked in an absolutely impossible position but with one magnificent burst of speed, the race was over!

    Maybe you weren't around to see this final furlong.

    Free eagle
    Ran out an easy winner of G3 on the same card as champion stakes. Race was same distance, same weight etc, he was off a long layoff, time would have won the champion stakes.

    Never really got the respect he deserved imo.
