Man o' War didn't even run in all three races of the TC series. Sorry, doesn't qualify.

I think you guys are overlooking Affirmed. YOu want a horse with heart, that was a horse with some serious guts.

And I think it's pretty much universally agreed that Assault was probably the weakest of the 11 TC winners.

My bad, I naturally include MOW in all such discussions...OK, then:
Secretariat
Citation/Count Fleet
Citation/Count Fleet/Omaha

Actually, I have a ton of respect for Slew, but such a field would not set up well for him imo...when it came to actually ranking the TC winners, here's what I came up with (Numbers in () are overall ranking):
Secretariat (1)
Citation (4)
Count Fleet (10)
War Admiral (14)
Seattle Slew (15)
Affirmed (17)
Gallant Fox (29)
Whirlaway (34)
Assault (42)
Omaha (43)
Sir Barton (50)
