Some arguee that no horse has ever deserved to have the title of Triple Crown winner next to his name that didn't win the triple crown. They feel, "If a horse is good enough to win the triple crown he'll win it and if he's not than the racing god's won't let him win".

But if you disagree with this than which horse in your estimate deserved to win the triple crown that did not?
I know it isn't a him, but OBVIOUSLY Zenyatta would have won the Triple Crown had it been a goal. She also would have taken the All American Futurity at 2 and the Hambo after the Belmont.

Don't be a tard.

Everyone knows that Zenyatta only races at THE classic distance of a mile and a quarter.

Those other classics would be way beneath her.

I have heard it argued that Little Current could have won the Triple Crown. Little Current had the misfortune of running in the 100th Kentucky Derby - a year when 23 horses ran in the classic. The Biggest Kentucky Derby field ever. He ran into traffic and was unable to use his powerful closing kick... I'm not going to say that Little Current deserved to win the crown but people (Jon White of HRTV included) think that Little Current could have won... Not should have but could have... Any thoughts? I know very little about little Current...
