Afleet Alex had lost in each of his first three attempts in route races. He also didn't offer much competition for Bellamy Road in the betting going into the Kentucky Derby---so, he didn't come into the triple crown series far superior to his crop.
He never raced after the triple crown series...so, he wasn't far superior to his crop after the triple crown series.
He was, by far, the dominant horse in his crops triple crown series...his domination was awfully short lived though.
Spectacular Bid is obviously the most dominant horse in his crop to race in the last 30 years.
