Consider this horse:

1978 PLEASANT COLONY,Dkbbr,c,His Majesty 2 14 6 3 1 965,383 71.10
DP = 7-1-25-1-4 DI = 1.17 CD = 0.16
At 2 Won Remsen S. -G2 (100,000), 2nd Pilgrim S. (50,000)
At 3 Won Kentucky Derby -G1 (200,000), Preakness S. -G1 (200,000),
Woodward S. -G1 (200,000), Wood Memorial -G1 (150,000), 2nd Travers S. -G1 (200,000), Fountain Of Youth S. -G3 (65,000), 3rd Belmont S. -G1 (200,000)

A very nice 3yo, beat his elders in the Woodward (10f and more important in those days, not just a rerun of the Whitney), no BC Classic around for him then. But not a great horse by anyone's calculation.
