I understand that the Breeders Cup is a major race. Shouldn't the Triple Crown Races have more weight to them? I don't recall the name St. Liam even racing in the Triple Crown, why not?

I am curious for your opinion that if Afleet Alex did not retire after the Belmont, could he have beaten St. Liam?

Thanks for your response.
