No. By my logic, American Pharoah beat horses in the Preakness that for whatever reason, ran worse than Tale of Verve, who no one is going to put in a list of very good horses yet.
There were 2 other good horses in the Preakness. Did you see the horrific step that Firing Line took out of the gate?

Sorry, I'm not ready to call him a "spectacular horse" yet.
If you want to say American Pharoah's probably as good as Big Brown or Smarty Jones were at this stage of their careers, then fine. But if you're maintaining he's somehow superior to those horses, or that his Derby and Preakness were superior to Funny Cide's, say, then you'll get an argument.
