Winning Colors - Never really the same after the Preakness. Stephens more to blame for that one I guess.

Tabasco Cat - won the preakness and belmont, then closed out his career going 1 for 6.

Thunder Gulch - Didn't make it to the BC of his 3yo year before being done.

Timber Country - Retired after Preakness.

Grindstone - I got a call a few minutes after the derby from a friend saying he was so messed up going into the derby, that immediately after the race the connections knew he was finished.

Editor's Note - After his Super Derby win, ran 11 more times with one win, an alw race. That was his only ITM performance, and 7 of those 11 races were double digit losses.

Charismatic - Broke down in the Belmont.

Commendable - you gotta be kidding me.

Cat Thief - Useful and did get the fluke BCC win. Worst crop in the last twenty years except for the Big Brown crop.

Serena's Song - She stayed good for a long time. Tailed off a bit at the end.

Sharp Cat - Got better with age.

Lady's Secret - Tailed off pretty bad at the end there.

Sacahuista - Nice filly

Most of those you list tailed off real bad, burned out or got hurt.
I also did mention he was more notorious with his 2yos in the 80s.
