Seattle Slew
Foolish Pleasure (I remember he beat Forego in a big NY race)
Riva Ridge

Look at the list... Funny Cide excepted, for the most part, these are some of the best Derby winners of the last 35 years. The kind who's talent can't be denied, even when they aren't at the top of their game.

I do think the trip to Dubai takes it out of them. Silver Charm, Cigar, Roses in May- to name a few- were never the same after that trip
