Sometimes. Point Given, Afleet Alex, Native Dancer... no question. But Smarty Jones, Silver Charm, Spectacular Bid, Northern Dancer? They were all the best 3YO's of their generation by QUITE a bit.
Basically any horse that wins 2 of 3 has to be pretty damned good, that's established. I personally would take the Derby/Preakness, and Belmont is my home track.
