i rate based on career accomplishment:
1. Citation
2. Affirmed
3. Whirlaway
4. Gallant Fox
5. War Admiral
6. Seattle Slew
7. Secretariat
8. Assault
9. Omaha
10. Count Fleet
11. Sir Barton
12. American Pharoah (he can move up though)
And before anyone says anything, I ding Secretariat for (1) not running at 4, (2) mostly running in restricted company, and (3) mostly beating stiffs.
But if i were to rank them on impressiveness IN THE TRIPLE CROWN, he would be in the top 2 and possibly number 1.
