Does he win the 2003 BCC over MDO and Congaree? In my opinion, both of those are well out of California Chrome’s league.

Great discussion topic!

1) Point Given - should have been Triple Crown winner, "what if " as an older horse.
2) Arrogate - he HATED Del Mar, other than that BRILLANT!
3) Justify - accomplished more than ANY horse did in only a short time.
4) Silver Charm - his career speaks for itself, maybe Bob's best.
5) American Pharoah - I know, he won the Triple Crown ..... his Belmont & Breeder's Cup were a "cake walk"
6) Real Quiet - most unlucky "possible" TC winner, honest career as older horse.
7) Lookin At Lucky - he was good, but just a cut below Baffert's best.
8) Silverbulletday - his GREATEST filly, played her in the Belmont Stakes that year.
9) Congaree - another great runner, see LOOKIN AT LUCKY
10) War Emblem - GREAT private purchase, had it his own way in the Derby & Preakness.
11) Bayern - a very lucky Baffert runner, see WAR EMBLEM

My play (from your numbers listed) : 7/2/5 with 7/2/5/10 with 10/1/8 with 6/9/4/11/3

GREAT THREAD!

I wouldn't call Bayern lucky. His Woody Stephens was massive. His BCC was strong also.

There's no possible way he's last. He was much better then War Emblem and Lookin At Lucky.
