Well, he won two legs of the TC, FuPeg one. He also went on to take the Haskell, while FuPeg won the Jerome. War Emblem earned figures as good, actually better I think, then FuPeg.
As for the Belmont, the break is the most overlooked form of trouble in racing in my opinion. War Emblem had zero chance after that break.
I forgot one other horse that may have had the best chance to win the TC the last decade...Ghostzapper.
