Well he would be of the horses that ran in all three races. Literally the only reason Man O' War isn't a Triple Crown winner is Sam Riddle was a snob about KY racing at the time and went 'eh kinda early for 1 1/4' as an excuse (that he didn't care about by the time War Admiral was there to take a crack at the now established TC). but MOW wouldn't have lost. He just wouldn't have. Print it in the paper and have 'em ready to distribute. It's over. It took a screwy starter/conditions/interference at the break to beat him at 2. The most definite TC to ever TC only stopped because MOW took the day off.
