Sports Editors agree with me; John Cherwa at the LA times opines:
Will American Pharoah rank among the all-time greats?
It’s too early to tell............he ranks Secretariat, Citation, Seattle Slew, War Admiral, and Affirmed and Whirlaway as better horses.
Enthusiasm for American Pharoah is high and you are one of many who have jumped on the band wagon.....I doubt you were even around when Secretariat, Seattle Slew or Affirmed raced.

How can I be a hater; I give the horse his due. I just don't consider him a great horse.
Penny Chenery was there in person to show her respect for what AP has done. And his time for the Belmont was faster than Affirmed, and a full 2 seconds faster than War Admiral, so it seems you may be full of shit and a hater.
