It's still incomplete on American Pharoah, but at this juncture, I think he's not only Bob's best, but definitely in the elite zone. Horses come at him in every race and he just puts it in another gear. Secretariat followed up the Triple Crown with great wins especially in the Marlboro, and Man o War or Lexington (always forget which one). Neither Slew nor Affirmed won in their Triple Crown won what I would term the Grand Slam of it's day, The Jockey Club Gold Cup (at 1 1/2 Miles). So if AP would win the BC Classic, we're in new territory!

it was the man o war.

and one of slew's best races ever was the jockey club. losing a nose after how he ran early...it was amazing to see.
