Even if voted as either, Justify will always be a questionable super-champion.
Obviously, he will never reach the status of his stable mate AP who went out in glory beating older horses in the top race of the country.
Of course retiring top tier 3y olds in nothing new and has been going on since the days of MoW (we also did not see a 4yo Secretariat either) albeit Justify did not have the chance to justify (!) his greatness and should be viewed as a precocious freak whose mission was limited to the TC and no more.
