i believe count fleet won the belmont by 25-the record til secretariat came along. very disappointing that he didn't race after that. no telling what else he would have accomplished.
and i'd have to think war admirals belmont would get a mention as a really good effort-considering he injured himself breaking from the gate. it was a bad enough injury that they thought he might have to be retired.
