Nah, not at all Nat, in fact I was a HUGE cynic with regard to the horse early on.
The wraps coming out of Canada were so massive & tied in with the bullshit coming out of the Southern Hemisphere M3 camp every time that any horse sired by him dropped a fart, at every step of the way at 2yrs, especially so when they stopped his season short & then again before SBSW returned at 3yrs I was dead sure that he would fall apart & never be seen again and I said as much. Instead he went on from being an exceptional 2yo to become, IMO, the best Pacing Colt ever to have looked through a Bridle at 3yrs & that includes the great Niatross. SBSW took class fields of 3yos apart in the saqme way that CC took the field apart in his Mircle Mile win. SBSW didn't just beat his opposition, he decimated them.
Hand on Heart I think he is a 'trans-generational' horse, and again there are reasonable comparisons to be drawn with CC as a racehorse and in SBSW's case, as a prospective sire.
