Swale....Winning Two Legs of The Triple Crown

[westcoastinvader]

Also Swale died of a heart attack eight days after winning the Belmont. Heard he was a hell of a horse. Glad he won the top 3yr old, even though his season was over after the Belmont.



And if you really like the history of it, it's very important to note he was the middle of the five in a row wins of The Belmont by trainer Woody Stephens.

Whenever the question comes up, "which sports record will be the toughest to break," I normally note the five consecutive Belmont's won by Woody Stephens.

I also note the number of consecutive MLB no hitters.....two.....held by Johnny Vander Meer.
