It takes an exceptional horse to win the Triple Crown because while they may not necessarily be great horses they have to be at the very least very good and more importantly very sound, these are the horses that we should be excited to see adding to the gene pool, not the brilliant but fragile horses we have been breeding the last 30 years, there are lots of great horses that endured the Triple Crown trail and still went on to even more impressive careers , including the last two Triple Crown winners, both had extraordinary 4 year old campaigns, I personally don't want to see a Triple Crown winner every 3 years or so, the accomplishment is special because of how hard it is !!!!!
