By no means do I have any expertise but off the top of my head I had 5 of your 10 which just happen to be the first 5 in your list. Without any research, Affirmed and Alydar were also in the 8 I thought of. Eventhough Alydar was the bridesmaid all 3 times iirc in 78, does Alydar possibly bring the Triple home in most other years. I remember comparing these 2 to Ali-Frazier and does it get any better than that? Also Can.II came to mind. Of course never saw Man of War but heard the hearsay. I need to do some research.
