there actually should have been 4 triple crown winners in the 70’s....Spectacular Bid in 1979. For some bizarre reason, the trainer, Bud Delp,kept that moron Ronnie Franklin as his jockey.....kid had no reason to be on any horse , let alone that great colt. Ugh.

I think the defeat in the Belmont was blamed on a leg bandage safety pin that somehow came loose during the race.

I think Real Quiet should have won the TC. He only lost by a heart-breaking tiny margin. It was a timing error. Real Quiet was also trained by Bob Baffert.
I hope American Pharaoh can get it today- for Baffert and the connections as well as for the whole country. We NEED a Triple Crown winner.
