The best horse not to win the Triple Crown, of those who competed in it, is Spectacular Bid.

Well he would be of the horses that ran in all three races. Literally the only reason Man O' War isn't a Triple Crown winner is Sam Riddle was a snob about KY racing at the time and went 'eh kinda early for 1 1/4' as an excuse (that he didn't care about by the time War Admiral was there to take a crack at the now established TC). but MOW wouldn't have lost. He just wouldn't have. Print it in the paper and have 'em ready to distribute. It's over. It took a screwy starter/conditions/interference at the break to beat him at 2. The most definite TC to ever TC only stopped because MOW took the day off.
