That's a wonderful piece, and I really enjoy the BH's new graphics features. The embedded videos are great, too. This is some of the very best of the internet.

When asked if the sport will see another Triple Crown winner, Dutrow didn’t miss a beat.

What a great read. Loved (though was also a bit depressed by) the section on how many adversaries the Triple Crown winners faced in total over the course of the three races, versus the recent near misses.

Borrowing from ESPN, "An Instant Classic". Thanks, Frank Angst, for this excellent piece.
