Okay I started to reconsider my last poll. Every time a horse wins two legs of the triple and loses the other they are a Triple Crown failure. So I have another poll for the other combos of a Triple Crown failure.

I wouldve liked the Specatular Bid to have won the crown.Imo Bid was the greatest horse ive ever seen.

I voted for Swale..Sure wouldve been nice for Woody Stephens to have a triple crown winner.

This is part 2 for horses who won the Derby/Belmont or Preakness/Belmont so Sunday Silence would be in part 1. The reason why I did this poll is because a few people had voted for horses like Native Dancer and Point Given which weren't choices in the first poll.

If anybody was wondering I don't consider these horses to be Triple Crown failures.
Man O' War (1920) wasn't entered in the Derby
Pillory (1922) Derby and Preakness same day
Burgoo King (1932) skipped Belmont bowed tendon/twisted ankle?
Bold Venture (1936) skipped Belmont bowed tendon
I'll Have Another (2012) scratched Belmont

If your poll fails, try Viagra.

If after four hours you still have a hard time deciding who to vote for, consult your doctor.

Just wondering but did you get the chance to see Zev run in the Derby in real life? And if you did just wondering how old are you, not that its any of my business.

That's amazing.Did not know.I voted ND too simply because how dominant those descendant have become in the Triple Crown since,through Raise A Native and son Mr Prospector.In the last 24 years they've won 58% of the Derbies and 70% of the Belmonts.

Had a horrible trip and still almost got up. Lost by a neck. Vanderbilt was set to campaign him in Europe when he was injured and retired.

22 starts, 21 wins.
