As for the Belmont, the break is the most overlooked form of trouble in racing in my opinion. War Emblem had zero chance after that break.
I forgot one other horse that may have had the best chance to win the TC the last decade...Ghostzapper.

I respect your opinion. While I think to a great extent FuPeg was a beneficiary of circumstance in the Derby, I still think he was the best in that race. Undoubtedly the best horse born in 1997 was Tiznow, but unfortunately he was not around to contest the TC.
I completely agree on Ghostzapper though. The 2003 3YO bunch would have had a run for their money.
