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.
If you'd seen WE in the paddock (assuming you weren't there) you'd have wanted no part of him. He looked terrible.
