In retrospect, Man O War and Native Dancer and Bid probably proved most worthy. MOW was never able to try and ND was nosed in the Derby after a bad trip and while I love him Bid was probably not at his best beyond 10f.
Beyond that I'd give honorable mention to Damascus and even Tim Tam who was second in the Belmont on a busted leg, as well as Sunday Silence. (Easy Goer's ankles were not as troubled by the wide turns at Belmont.)
