It takes a lucky horse to win the Derby
A fast horse to win the Preakness
and the best horse to win the Belmont


No idea where I heard that, but it's more or less true.

Absolutely correct LSB and I will also add some other factors, they are running against the best field of their lives and against the largest number of talented horses in their lives. It truly takes a very good horse and luck and trip can't hurt.

Although an old horseman told me once that a good horse makes his own luck and trip.
