In my opinion it just does not make sense to rate his performance ahead of Inside Information's in the Distaff. For me she is the clear cut winner here.

For those who are criticizing Ghostzapper, I wasn't saying he was one of the greatest horses of all time, just that his performance in the BC was one of the best in the last 10 years. For example, some could argue that Volponi's easy win in the classic should be on the list, but nobody would say Volponi was a an all-time great horse.

Exactly, this is about performances in BC races... and GZ's stacks right up there. Most also believe his career, while short-lived, was also very good... even though that is irrelevant in this thread.
