There were only three horses on dirt since the turn of the century that could compete with the legends of yesteryear: Arrogate, Rachel Alexandra and Ghostzapper.
All three were greats.

Rachel only at 3, and the other 2 for only a few month span.
Compared to the greats of yesteryear who showed greatness over a far longer period of time.
At least Rachel and GZ were explicable why their terms were short or limited to a specific year's campaign. I put an asterisk beside every Baffert "great."
