When he was right he dusted a horse like Gun Runner, not once, but twice. Ran down a completely loose California Chrome. Yea.

The thing is, he isn't comparable to a horse like Affirmed, who had all those wins over Alydar at 2 and 3, and then beat up on everyone, ran fast times, and defeated Spectacular Bid at 4.
He obviously isn't comparable to Secretariat. Or Citation. Or Swaps.
Indeed, he really isn't even comparable to a horse like Cigar, who won 16 races in a row over mostly top competition.
4 great races is not a career. Arrogate was a flash in the pan by traditional racing standards.
