And I think it's pretty much universally agreed that Assault was probably the weakest of the 11 TC winners.

My bad, I naturally include MOW in all such discussions...OK, then:
Secretariat
Citation/Count Fleet
Citation/Count Fleet/Omaha

If I was betting $100......

$50 to win on Secretariat
$20 exacta - Secratariat/Citation
$20 exacta - Secratariat/Affirmed
$5 trifecta - Sec/Ci/Affirmed
$5 trifecta - Sec/Affirmed/Ci

Actually, I have a ton of respect for Slew, but such a field would not set up well for him imo...when it came to actually ranking the TC winners, here's what I came up with (Numbers in () are overall ranking):
Secretariat (1)
Citation (4)
Count Fleet (10)
War Admiral (14)
Seattle Slew (15)
Affirmed (17)
Gallant Fox (29)
Whirlaway (34)
Assault (42)
Omaha (43)
Sir Barton (50)
