Default Interesting simulation

I’ll Have Another is the 12th three-year-old to win the Kentucky Derby (G1) and the Preakness Stakes (G1) since Affirmed last swept the Triple Crown in 1978. The great Spectacular Bid in 1979 came up short in the Belmont Stakes (G1) as did Pleasant Colony (1981), Alysheba (1987), Sunday Silence (1989), Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998), Charismatic (1999), War Emblem (2002), Funny Cide (2003), Smarty Jones (2004), and Big Brown (2008). Which begs the question, who would win in a race between I’ll Have Another and the aforementioned 11 Derby-Preakness winners since Affirmed?

Check out the computer simulation below to watch the dream race between some of the best three-year-olds of the last 34 years.

Personally, I think Spectacular Bid would crush this field but...
