I think Silver Charm won a few more big races in his career beyond the Derby and Preakness. He won the Dubai World Cup, the San Fernando, Strub, Foster, Kentucky Cup Classic, Goodwood, and the Clark to name a few. All graded stakes. He was no flash in the pan who was never heard from again after the Triple Crown.
