Curlin?

Are you just talking 2yr old champ then HOY?

[alysheba4]

no champion 2 year old then 3 year old.

Lookin at Lucky '09-'10

[alysheba4]

wow, forgot about him.

But you'd have to go back to Spectacular Bid '78-'79 and then not too far to Affirmed 77-78, Seattle Slew 76-77 and then back to Secretariat '72-'73. So only 4 in 44 years makes it awfully rare

Just looked it up. From 1970-present just 5. Beholder, Silverbulletday, Go for Wand, Open Mind and Ruffian.

[alysheba4]

sure, i just was thinking if SB does pull it off it seemed a rare feat to me.

Shared Belief has the most beautiful stride...poetry in motion.
