I see only one horse to bag all these in one year.
Also, this goes back to 1991. We are looking at 27 years of history there.
No horse has been able to accomplish this West Coast Grand Superfecta in 27 years.
That is one hell of a lot of history, and look at the great horses that couldn't pull this off. Quite a list!
It would be a shame to screw this horse out of HOTY.
On the other hand, triple crown winners don't come along very often either.
Maybe a double winner this year, or somebody gets really screwed.
It's not an easy pick. IMHO.
