After todays performance in the Ark does this horse qualify as the best ever.
6 Group 1 wins on the trot.. (pardon the pun)
The way it got out of a jam and pulled away inthe last furlong was very impressive.

Sea The Stars wrote himself into the racing record books with a stunning victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.
John Oxx's colt, under Mick Kinane, powered through from deep in the closing straight to win by two lengths.
The three-year-old is the first horse to win the 2,000 Guineas, Epsom Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Youmzain, ridden by Keiren Fallon, came in second, with Cavalryman, under Frankie Dettori, third.
Sea The Stars has now won six Group One races in a row and, with this victory, establishes himself alongside the likes of Ribot, Sea Bird II and Mill Reef as one of the great Arc victors.
For 50-year-old jockey Kinane, this is his third Arc triumph, following on from his victories on Carroll House 20 years ago and Montjeu 10 years later.
Oxx revels in historic win
"I ended up in a position I maybe didn't want to, but I didn't want to risk firing him up," said Kinane.
"They were going a nice pace and I knew I would need a bit of luck in the straight, no matter what happened, but I knew I had the pace to go anywhere I wanted.
"He's a phenomenal horse."
