What's this all about? Had you gone to page 2 .... Dec. 4, 2013 post at 10:45AM, you would've read ... the correct answer.Curtis wrote:The horse is correct but Big Cy actually did it winning the 1951 Hollywood Gold Cup.Raven wrote:Citation. 1950

Right horse, wrong year. Citation in 1951. Noor won the race in 1950.

My guess would be Sir Barton and Seattle Slew.Raven wrote:Name the only two TC winners not to have a full sibling!
Sir Barton because the races weren't considered the Triple Crown until long after he retired.
Seattle Slew because his sire died young.

I read a lot and like researching pedigrees. It was an educated guess. It came down to 3 horses in my mind, I had actually typed Sir Barton and Omaha, then I thought, oh wait Bold Reasoning died after only 3 crops.Raven wrote:You guessed that?
