Useless trivia fact for the day- assuming that Summer Bird comes back next year, this will be the first time since 1997 that the winners of all three Triple Crown races
and the BCC winner will race the following season.
Years of winners who raced the following year:
1997: Skip Away, Silver Charm, Touch Gold
1990: Unbridled, Summer Squall, Go and Go
1989: Sunday Silence, Easy Goer (the only year 2 horses won all 4 races- and they ran 1-2 in all 4 of them. What a duo.
)
1987: Ferdinand, Alysheba, Bet Twice
