Silver Charm was a champion, he won The Derby and Preakness and then Dubai, just short in the Classic and Belmont. Real Quiet, a nose shy of a Triple Crown, Ok at 4 but we'll never know. Point Given was a beast. I'll never understand what happened Derby Day, but The Preakness, Belmont, and Travers were great. It's still incomplete on American Pharoah, but at this juncture, I think he's not only Bob's best, but definitely in the elite zone. Horses come at him in every race and he just puts it in another gear. Secretariat followed up the Triple Crown with great wins especially in the Marlboro, and Man o War or Lexington (always forget which one). Neither Slew nor Affirmed won in their Triple Crown won what I would term the Grand Slam of it's day, The Jockey Club Gold Cup (at 1 1/2 Miles). So if AP would win the BC Classic, we're in new territory!
