These are the 12 greats that missed The Crown in the last 36 years, Once we have another Triple Crown winner, these 12 greats will be forgotten, that would be a sin, Every time the TC is on the line, we get to relive the stories of these 12, for three weeks between The Preakness and The Belmont the hype is on and these 12 come back to life, I remember all 12, and love hearing about them again and again, Can anyone tell me about the near misses from Citation to Secreatriat? I doubt it, once Secretariat won The TC, those near misses are forgotten, I know I am selfish, but I do not want a TC winner,I do not want to have these 12 fade away into history, when they come alive every time the Crown is on the line........

I totally disagree. Especially since all of their races are available on the internet. That is not the case for the horses who ran between Citation and Secretariat.
