The last time I witnessed a horse win the triple crown, I was 11 years old. The following year, Spectacular Bid narrowly failed to become the 4th horse in 7 years to win the TC in the 70s. Back then I thought it was too easy... LOL. Cue 37 years later, and we have our 12th winner. Amazing. I was doubtful AP had the class to win, but he proved me wrong.
I was 12 the last time I saw one win it. It was Seattle Slew in 77'. I watched Secretariat do it in 73' also when I was 8 years old, but missed Affirmed in 78'.
