I'm not an AP fan, but I love his Belmont. He ran the second six furlongs in the same time as his first six furlongs-- i.e., he never slowed down going 1 1/2 miles on dirt.
AP also beat more horses in the TC, by far, than any other TC winner. I certainly am not a fan of his post-TC career of all of three races, but he in no way "tainted" the TC.
