I have always thought that Spectacular Bid was the best of the near triple crown winners.....

I second The Bid, he was better than Point Given, easily.

With a triple crown on the line in the Belmont, absolutely Spectacular Bid with Smarty Jones a close second choice.

Really?

I would rank him as the least likely to win the TC going towards the Belmont.

Yet he came the closest.

Was good friends with his groom hence the admitted bias.

as mighty as point Given was, don't embarass him by comparing him with The Bid. Hard to believe any hoss ever could beat him going 9 furlongs
