Biggest gap between the best horse in a crop and the rest

[quote=Pedigree Ann][quote=easy goer]It's great that he won the TC w/ Alydar breathing down his neck, but you cant say he was far superior, in fact he lost Alyday a few times before and after the TC.

Wrong. Lost to him only as a 2yo. Beat him in the Travers but was DQ'd. Always finished ahead of Alydar as a 3yo.

Well okay but does that really change the argument that Affirmed was not that dominant over Alydar?

No, of course not, and you're right. Plus, considering what happened in the Travers, AFTER the TC races, one could EASILY argue that Alydar was best that day.
