STS she did win the triple crown for Fillies.At that time it was known as the Triple Tiara.To me Forego was one of the greatest horses i've ever seen.He won having to carry a house on his back,lost to one of the best 3 year olds by only 2 length Wajima spotting 14 lbs.He also won at every distance imaginable whether it was 7 furlongs or 2.25 miles when the Jockey club gold cup was that distance and he had longevity.You haven't seen many horses like him around for a long time and might never again.And if anyone thinks Best Pal being a gelding like Forego should be mentioned in the same breath as THE MIGHTY FOREGO you are mistaken.
